Chicago Charter Amendment Aimed at City Government
A proposed state constitutional amendment focuses solely on Chicago to grant a special charter. It would lift certain restrictions, allow the legislature to adjust Chicago’s revenue system for corporate purposes while keeping state taxes unchanged, and aim to create a cleaner, more up-to-date metropolis. The amendment requires a majority of votes cast at the November election, and all voters are urged to vote in its favor.
