Having a sister like Alder Rossana Rodríguez in the 33rd Ward, in my district, has been really transformative, not just in terms of policy and what we’re able to do, but in the way she helps keep hope alive and fights for all of us, no matter the stakes or the opposition.

State lawmakers: Donald Trump’s cuts broke Illinois’ budget. It’s time to make the wealthy pay to fix it.
Our tax system in Illinois is broken, asking low- and middle-income folks to shoulder too much of the funding burden.

Stop burdening working families; tax wealth and corporate profits fairly
Medicaid, food assistance, education and other social services are being hit hard by federal cuts. Big Tech, large corporations and the wealthiest people in Illinois can pay more in taxes.

Last week, the Illinois House passed a “mega projects” bill that allows large projects, $100 million+, to negotiate their property taxes.
While I am all for the Bears staying, it is frustrating to see the General Assembly bend over backwards and move with urgency to accommodate a wealthy business.
