Debate Ignites Over Chicago Tax Referendum Amidst Allegations of Fund Misuse
Chicago’s proposed tax referendum has ignited a fierce debate, with critics raising concerns about the possible misuse of funds by the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU). Reported by The Center Square, CTU is alleged to be prioritizing its interests over addressing homelessness. There are internal documents that suggest plans to leverage the tax hike for union benefits.
Even Mayor Brandon Johnson’s close relationship with CTU has added fuel to the issue. There are fears that the tax revenue is indeed becoming a slush fund for the union. CTU’s contract with the city is set to expire and negotiations about the tax revenue could cement these issues.
As voters prepare for the March 19 primary election, they are urged to carefully consider the implications of the referendum and its potential impact on addressing homelessness in Chicago.
