Bipartisan bill gives local voters power over 7,000 units of government

Illinois has nearly 7,000 units of local government, the highest total of any state in the nation. These often-duplicative layers of government are one of the driving forces behind Illinoisans’ punishing property taxes.

Thankfully, the Citizens Empowerment Act (House Bill 307) would allow local voters to eliminate governments they deem unnecessary – reducing their property tax burdens through more efficient services.

Public polling shows overwhelming support for HB 307. The chief sponsors are Reps. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, and Jonathan Carroll, D-Northbrook.
