Illinois voters give stamp of approval on three nonbinding referendums | Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons

Illinois voters got to weigh in on three nonbinding referendums on this year’s ballot. And according to the latest results, all of them have passed. While the advisory questions won’t change current law, state legislators now have a better understanding of what voters want. One referendum asked voters if candidates who interfere or attempt to interfere with the work of election workers should be penalized. Another asked whether a 3% tax surcharge should be put on income over $1 million to fund property tax relief. The third asked if coverage of IVF and other reproductive health treatments should be covered by health insurance. Reset gets the details and talks about what’s next.
