Illinois House Republicans Tie Bears Stadium Plan to Property Tax Relief Push

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois House Republicans say they will not support any Chicago Bears stadium deal or megaprojects legislation without statewide property tax relief. In a letter to Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the General Assembly, the GOP state reps said they want property tax referendums to appear only on November ballots, and they want an end to back door referendums or bond rollovers that allow governments to raise taxes without asking voters.
