Blue Ballot References Court Proof and Tax Cap Debate
Illinois voters will decide on two constitutional amendments this fall. One seeks to change witness testimony rules to allow closed circuit television and the other proposes moving up the three fifths legislative deadline to June 1. Also on the ballot is whether Cook County should cap property tax increases at 5 percent of the federal CPI, with home rule bodies exempt, a policy already adopted in collar counties. The outcome hinges on straight majority or three fifths support among Blue Ballot voters, with many skipping that section. The public debate splits legal and legislative communities over the witness and procedural changes. Interstate News Service
