“This year, lawmakers were dedicated to passing a balanced budget that cuts wasteful and unnecessary spending on government administration while funding essentials like better schools for our kids and better pay for in-home caregivers. As I continue to fight to keep our community a great place to live, I was proud to put my support behind a plan that also funds new safety net hospitals and health clinics in underserved areas.”
(Illinois House Democrats — Official Legislative Release) “Lawmakers have a responsibility to address the problems facing the people we represent, plain and simple. I’m confident that, with diligent work, we can craft the legislation that lowers costs so that all Illinoisans can build stronger futures for themselves, their communities and their loved ones.”
(Illinois House Democrats — Official Legislative Release) “Passing this measure capping property taxes is just one step I plan to take to help working people. We need to lower vital costs across the board. That means lower prices at the grocery store, more affordable prescription drugs at the pharmacy and reducing countless other expenses that can pile up and prevent people from achieving economic freedom.”
