Committee deadline week has come and gone, and there’s a few things that trouble me.
House Republicans introduced over 100 bills aimed at providing real tax relief for hardworking Illinoisans. Nearly 90 of those bills were sent to the House Revenue and Finance Committee. Only two were even considered. Just two!
Of the 32 bills that passed out of the committee so far, only two had House Republican sponsors, a mere 6.25% passage rate. Even worse, 22 of our tax relief bills were never assigned to any committee at all. That’s not just politics. That’s ignoring families who are struggling.
Illinoisans deserve better. I’ll keep fighting for the relief you need and the leadership you deserve.
