As the clock continues to tick toward the end of the legislative session in Springfield, Republican lawmakers are calling on Democrats to include them in property tax relief talks.
Major recent proposals from Democrats – such as the ‘Megaprojects Bill’ – have sought to address property tax issues that have draw criticism from Republicans.
A group of Republicans, including Reps. Dan Ugaste and Jeff Keicher, said their proposals are realistic and worthy of bipartisan consideration.
Keicher highlighted key proposals the Republican Caucus put forward in the House, including an initiative to restart funding for property tax relief grants to school districts through the Illinois State Board of Education.
Ugaste said with House and Senate Democrat leadership also on board to bring relief, it’s time for Democrats to fairly consider their colleagues across the aisle.
