Some at the Illinois Statehouse say the state is on fire with burdensome property taxes and the firehouse is locked by majority Democrats.
Republican State Representative Dan Ugaste said one commercial property owner is about to give up, as his $300,000 property has a $60,000 annual property tax bill.
Ugaste said the state is on fire and legislators from both sides are firefighters. Minority Republicans have tools he said they are ready to deploy.
Statehouse Democrats have announced membership of a partisan working group to discuss the issue of property taxes. Such working groups typically conduct business behind closed doors.
