   Sep 26, 2024 · “Illinois has the second highest property taxes in the country. It’s hammering a lot of folks who live from paycheck to paycheck, and getting a property tax relief referendum on the ballot is the voice of the people and the voice of the taxpayers,” he said. “That’s the way you win reforms and relief that are long overdue.”
