Public policy is one area where lawmakers can send a message to entrepreneurs that Illinois is the place to nurture and grow their business. Illinois should continue to establish and embrace a climate where businesses can succeed or fail based on the merits of their ideas. Opportunity exists to foster innovation and competition, to the benefit of consumers throughout the state.

While ridesharing in Illinois is only three years old, Uber is already making a significant impact in Chicago.
