As the March 19th primary elections approach in Illinois, the Cook County State's Attorney race is a key local contest, with the Democratic primary likely to be decisive in replacing the incumbent, Kim Foxx. The candidates, who have been discussed by former Riverdale Police Chief Tom Weitzel, have divergent views on issues such as juvenile crimes and retail theft. These issues are central to the debate on criminal justice reform and criminal accountability. The first televised debate for this race has taken place, with highlights to be featured tonight at 10p, emphasizing the candidates' differences. Additionally, Chicagoans will vote on a referendum to implement a tax on high-end property sales, aimed at funding homelessness prevention programs, a policy question with big implications for the city's ability to fund homelessness. An in-depth look at the campaigns for and against this tax has been provided.
