Description

With thousands of ballots still being counted, the fate of the highly contested Bring Chicago Home tax referendum remains unclear. As of Thursday afternoon, the referendum has about 20,000 more no votes and is seemingly headed towards defeat. Freelance writer Natalie Christan-Frazier and Block Club Chicago’s Melody Mercado join host Jacoby Cochran to discuss what this result could mean for the mayor’s progressive agenda moving forward. Plus, we are looking at U.S. Rep. Danny Davis’ latest election win, the city's denial of DNC protests permits, and how Lollapalooza is celebrating 20 years in Chicago.
