State Sen. Christine Radogno (R-IL) last week introduced a legislative package that supports Gov. Bruce Rauner's Turnaround Agenda.

The agenda calls for freezing property taxes, improving the state's jobs climate, and transforming state government with term limits and redistricting reform.

"People in this state fundamentally understand that this system is corrupt and broken,” Radogno said. "We have to change direction. This legislative package is the first step in trying to make that happen.”

Radogno’s legislation includes five reform measures that seek to address Illinois' second highest property tax rate in the nation, third worst jobs climate and worst run state in the county.

Specific legislation includes SB 1046 (Property Tax Freeze), SB 994 (Workers’ Compensation), SB 884 (Lawsuit Reform), SJRCA 14 (Term Limits) and SJRCA 15 (Redistricting).

"Governor Rauner has been very clear: Reform before revenue," Radogno said. "Reform first. I will continue to work with Governor Rauner to fight the status quo and help turn around Illinois. Our goal is to get people to invest here, create jobs, and keep the people who live in Illinois here and employed.”
