“High property taxes are crushing Metro-East families. Already forced to pay the second highest property taxes in the nation, four years of complete Democrat control in Springfield have burdened our people even more – the average working family in our community has paid $2,288 more in property taxes since JB Pritzker, Katie Stuart and Springfield Democrats pushed their agenda through. With inflation hitting 9% this year, local governments can now increase property taxes even more than usual. I demand that local government officials oppose any burdensome property tax increases on Metro-East taxpayers so that working families in our communities can keep more of their hard-earned money.
