Chicago voters do not want to increase taxes on behalf of irresponsible leaders who created their own financial problems and are looking for easy outs.
on behalf of irresponsible leaders who created their own financial problems and are looking for easy outs. Chicago’s voters proved that yet again.voters appear to have voted down a ballot initiative called “Bring Chicago Home,” 54%-46% with 96% reporting. The proposal, backed by Mayorreal estate transfer taxes on properties worth more than $1 million, supposedly to put toward addressing homelessness.
Chicago is in a financial dilemma of its own making, thanks to the decisions of its political leaders including Johnson and the city council. Leaching more money from residents to throw into the furnace isn’t exactly something voters are willing to do for leaders who have proven as incompetent as Chicago’s have. It is hard to blame voters for feeling that way.
