Speaking on the House floor, State Representative Tom Weber called for relief for Illinois families facing an affordability crisis and the never-ending burden of always-increasing property taxes.
“The people of Illinois are suffocating under a continued increase in costs to raise a family here in Illinois,” said Weber. “This is not because of something they did wrong, but because of the continued, always-increasing property taxes that eventually bleed families dry and chase retirees out.”
Weber noted that despite numerous proposals coming out of the 2019 Property Tax Relief Task Force initiated by Governor Pritzker, the majority party Democrats and the Governor ignored all the proposals the Task Force came up with and did absolutely nothing.
“Illinois families just want a fair shot,” said Weber. “No more excuses. No more delay. Illinois deserves relief—now.”
