Illinois continued its fight against higher property taxes by launching a new online advertisement highlighting that Illinois homeowners have yet to be granted much-needed property tax relief.
The targeted online ad criticizes lawmakers who have yet to pass a property tax freeze through the General Assembly. For years, state legislators have discussed freezing property taxes for Illinoisans; however, a property tax freeze hasn’t become a reality, and Illinois now has the second highest property taxes in the country. […]
In addition to the online advertisement, AFP-IL activists have made more than 17,000 phone calls and hundreds of patch-thrus to legislators, urging that passage of property tax relief and giving local governments the tools necessary to control their costs - namely greater freedom over prevailing wage restrictions and collective bargaining - should be a top priority in Springfield. This week, AFP-IL has also begun the first phase of a petition circulation campaign in 18 municipalities.
Blah.Blah.
All talk. No results.
On property taxes, that’s the story in Springfield.
Year after year, state legislators talk about freezing your property taxes.
They talk and talk. And while they talk, property taxes keeping going up and up.
Illinois property taxes are crushing homeowners and all the legislators do is talk.
Let’s break this recurring circle.
Because Illinois families deserve real results and a lot less talk.
Blah.Blah.
