Cook County Advisory Question: Illinois Property Tax Relief and Education Amendment (3% Millionaire Income Tax Surcharge)
Source: results.chicagoelections.gov
What does this measure do?
Asks Cook County voters, in a nonbinding poll, whether Illinois should add a 3% income tax on income over $1 million and split the money between property tax relief and public schools. A yes vote changes no tax; it only tells state lawmakers what county voters want.
Proposed by: Cook County Board of Commissioners (introduced by Commissioner Donna Miller, 6th District)
Miller is a Democrat who represents the county's 6th District. She wants voters to weigh in on a statewide 3% tax on income over $1 million to pay for property tax relief.

A YES vote means
You tell state lawmakers you support a 3% surcharge on income over $1 million to fund property tax relief and schools; nothing changes automatically.
A NO vote means
You tell state lawmakers you oppose the surcharge; nothing changes.
