Campaign flyers are seen during a Humboldt Park March to the Polls campaign event on March 9, 2024, in Chicago. A group of progressive candidates at the event urged people to vote for the Bring Chicago Home referendum. The Illinois Supreme Court Wednesday rejected an effort to invalidate the so-called Bring Chicago Home real estate transfer tax referendum, clearing the way for the question to remain on ballots and for votes to be counted.
BOMA Chicago Executive Director Farzin Parang called the ruling disappointing, but said it was nonetheless important to contest the “misleading and manipulative” referendum. “Fortunately, with this latest decision by the IL Supreme Court, voters now have the power to set Chicago on a new path: where big corporate landlords pay their fair share, where there is legally dedicated local funding for affordable housing and support services, and where 68,000 homeless Chicagoans have a place to call home,” Schenkelberg wrote.
