芝加哥6项咨询性公投全部过关:百万富翁税获八成支持,均不具约束力

11月4日公布的非正式计票显示,芝加哥选民11月3日对6项咨询性议题全部投下赞成票,赞成率均不低于67%,但这6项均不具法律约束力,不会直接改变法律或支出。
枪声探测议题以72.55%通过,节庆场地议题以67.64%通过,赞成率最低;学校董事会版百万富翁税获80.42%,库克县版获79.67%;空地惩罚税获73.67%,中途岛闪电战补偿议题获84.78%,为最高。
计票覆盖1291个选区中的1212个,11月17日前寄到的邮寄选票仍可计入,但差距如此之大,翻盘可能性极低。
选票统计仍在进行,邮寄选票须在11月17日前寄到,选举委员会将在此后更新数字;由于六项议题均为咨询性质,无论赞成率多高,都不会自动成为法律。
市长约翰逊曾于2024年9月终止枪声探测合同;由于咨询性投票不约束任何人,真正的预算博弈仍在市议会,市方面临8.82亿美元赤字,市长提出的176亿美元2027年预算案依赖企业人头税,类似方案去年曾被市议员否决,市议会须在年底前作出决定,2027年2月23日的市政选举才是下一场具约束力的投票。
All Six Chicago Advisory Referendums Pass: Millionaire Tax Draws 80% Support, None Binding
Unofficial returns released November 4 showed Chicago voters approving all six advisory questions on the November 3 ballot, each with at least 67% support — though none of the six is legally binding and none changes any law or spending by itself. Restarting gunshot-detection technology passed with 72.55%, a permanent festival grounds question drew the lowest support at 67.64%, a school-board version of a millionaire tax won 80.42% and the Cook County version 79.67%, a vacant-lot penalty tax drew 73.67%, and a question on seeking compensation over the Midway Blitz immigration operation drew the highest support at 84.78%. The count covered 1,212 of 1,291 precincts; mail ballots arriving by November 17 can still be counted, but the margins make reversals unlikely.
Mayor Brandon Johnson ended the city's gunshot-detection contract in September 2024. Because the votes are advisory, the real budget fight remains in the City Council: the city faces an $882 million deficit, and the mayor's proposed $17.6 billion budget for 2027 relies on a corporate head tax similar to one aldermen rejected last year. The council must decide by year-end; the next binding vote is the municipal election on February 23, 2027.
