    Voters in Bensenville recently made clear how they felt about a proposed 1% tax on groceries. In a referendum on April 1, 91% voted against it.

JB Pritzker signed a bill last year repealing the state’s 1% grocery tax, saying it hit poorer families harder. But the bill also allowed municipalities, which depend on the revenue, to implement their own tax.
