State Rep. Deanne Mazzochi (R-Elmhurst) wants property tax relief for her constituents and urged Democrats to help Republicans in passing tax relief bills.
"Property taxes have been a major problem for years in Illinois," Mazzochi said during a March 3 press conference. "We have a convoluted tax system pushing people out of the state."
Mazzochi said The Property Tax Relief Task Force was supposed to bring reform, but failed
"We got another task force and we wanted to use that task force to see and bring reform to Illinois," Mazzochi said. "We took that task force seriously, but Democrats used that to further other taxes like the income tax."
Mazzochi said she wasn't surprised.
"Our ideas were summarily dismissed, like pension reform, greater reforms to local government systems, enhanced transparency on tax bills," Mazzochi said. "There was no substantive action by Democrats this session. House Democrats continue to not take action."
Mazzochi said she wants legislation that Republicans have filed that will provide tax relief for Illinoisans.
