Campaign flyers for “Ballot Question 1” are seen during a Humboldt Park March to the Polls event March 9, 2024, in Chicago. The group of progressive candidates at the event urged people to vote for the Bring Chicago Home referendum. Opponents of the so-called Bring Chicago Home real estate transfer tax referendum filed an appeal Monday to the Illinois Supreme Court, again placing the referendum’s fate in judges’ hands.
But last Wednesday, a state appellate court overturned the ruling. The decision cleared the way for the Chicago Board of Elections to determine an outcome on the referendum after the March 19 primary. The Bring Chicago Home coalition backing the referendum criticized the appeal Monday afternoon. In a statement, Maxica Williams, chair of the End Homeless Ballot Initiative Committee, accused developers of throwing “roadblocks up in the democratic process.”
