Texas vs. Illinois is telling for America
ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – Texas lawmakers pursue property tax cuts and spending limits while Illinois continues to face worsening tax burdens without concrete relief measures, experts say.
- Recently, Gov. Greg Abbott announced a special session on property taxes, planning to cut levies and limit government spending.
- Despite Texas voters' support, Illinois has only formed study groups and approved new tax hikes in its recent legislative session.
- While spending rose, Austin's property tax levy increased from $675 million to over $1 billion between 2018 and 2022, and local government spending has continued driving up bills, underscoring Abbott's call for relief without breaking the bank.
- Despite ongoing challenges, Illinois tax relief is off the table and hikes remain a constant threat, and acknowledging these problems stands out as crucial.
- As the debate continues, Texas leaders are bringing a new mindset to the spending debate, and Illinois needs more honest discussions about taxes and funding.
