Springfield, IL…State Representative Wayne Rosenthal (R-Morrisonville) says wasteful spending, lack of opportunity in the job market and high taxes are threatening the values of small-town communities. Illinois is losing population as families seek better opportunities in other states. Rep. Rosenthal supports measures that would protect hard-working families, their way of life, and keep them in Illinois.
“Small-town values in the 108th district spread throughout the communities and give families a sense of safety and security,” said Rep. Rosenthal. “I see too much wasteful spending on projects and programs that don’t benefit Illinois residents. High taxes continue to hold down families trying to get ahead and we are seeing more people leave our cherished communities because of poor public policy.”
Rep. Rosenthal supports legislation that would protect small-town communities in the 108th district and across Illinois.
House Bill 1582: Repeals the Estate Tax
House Bill 4187: Repeals the Illinois TRUST Act
House Bill 2986: Caps Rate of Growth of General Funds Appropriations
House Bill 4716: Limits any change in assessment resulting from reassessment in the general assessment year to the lesser of the following: 3% of the assessed value of the property or change in the Consumer Price Index during the 12-month calendar year.
House Bill 2288: Expands veteran-owned small businesses. The state shall consider a “small business” by annual gross sales of less than $150,000,000 rather than less than $75,000,000.
Rep. Rosenthal knows it takes good-paying jobs, safe communities, and lower taxes to keep Illinois families together, after college and in retirement.
“Illinois can become a better place to live and raise a family, but we must have bipartisan agreements on policies that foster economic growth and opportunities,” Rosenthal continued to say. “I will continue to stand up for rural communities and their values so families can live a prosperous life without burdens from high taxes and insecurities.”
