Issues: Taxes Government Budget and Spending
Taxpayers should not pay more when state government fails to identify ways to control existing spending. In recent years, the income tax rate increased twice, yet spending levels continue to rise. Jeff opposes efforts to make it easier for legislators to raise tax rates on hardworking Illinoisans.
Additionally, Jeff believes state agencies should identify areas to reduce spending by eliminating outdated programs and root out waste, fraud, and abuse of tax dollars. He has sponsored legislation to address the bloat and make our government more responsive to spending concerns shared by many in Illinois.
