An Illinois House bill that would allow more education funding dollars reach the classroom before getting trapped in administration has earned support from both parties – and the opposition of administrators.

As property tax bills hit DuPage County mailboxes, residents are reminded that Illinois needs pension reform, not higher taxes.

A progressive tax won’t stop constant property tax hikes. Pension reform will.

Because the governor doesn’t address state and local governments’ ballooning pension costs, the typical Illinois family will continue to see their tax bills rise.

By reducing administrative bloat in Illinois school districts, the bill would enable property tax relief while ensuring education dollars reach students and classrooms first, rather than bureaucrats.
