That's not even the most important thing on the ballot today. Kim Foxx stepped down and the Cook County DA primary is between her protege and a more sane democrat.

Both the tax and her protege will win, which is why I moved out of that shithold. 😄

Yes. That was a great ride. Highlight of the day. Usually the last train back up north around midnight was full of drunk lawyers and finance guys. Got on and off at Hubbard Woods.

Now imagine you're 16 and you want a place to drink beer with your friends, and also to make new friends with others who are into the same things. Suppose race and socioeconomic status are low priority factors in this moment.

It FAILED due to BASED hispanx:

Frank Calabrese

@FrankCalabrese

The Chicago referendum on increasing the real estate transfer tax on properties over $1 million AKA Bring Chicago Home failed, with 54% No votes. The referendum failed in high-income and Latino wards, and passed in liberal white and Black wards. #twill #BringChicagoHome
