Unofficial results show all three of Illinois’ non-binding advisory questions are on the way to approval.
In two of the three dealing with access to fertility treatments and election worker security, voters approved overwhelmingly. It was much closer for the question asking voters if the state should tax millionaires a 3% surcharge for property tax relief. That received about 61% yes votes and 39% not votes.
Illinois Policy Institute’s Bryce Hill said it’s not just millionaires who will be affected by a proposed millionaires surcharge.
The measure is advisory only, but advocates for the proposal say the state legislature could approve a constitutional amendment to ask voters the same question as a binding referendum in two years.
