Understanding Proposed Amendment 1

 
Amendment 1 is a proposed Illinois constitutional amendment at the top of the Nov. 8 ballot.
 
Amendment 1 would add a provision to the Illinois constitution that allows collective bargaining to expand beyond typical negotiations over wages and compensation to potentially include social or political demands. Taxpayers will be forced to fund these broad new provisions through increased property taxes. Amendment 1 guarantees the average Illinois family will pay at least $2,149 more in property taxes, but the amount is likely much higher.
