Taxes Aren’t Flat — They’re Climbing Fast

Kane County (last 5 years):

  • Property tax burdens continue to rise for homeowners and seniors
  • County and local levies increased to cover pension obligations
  • Higher assessments have pushed up total tax bills, even without major income growth
  • Families and small businesses feel the squeeze first

Illinois statewide (last 5 years):

  • Gas tax increases tied to automatic inflation indexing
  • Higher fees and taxes on everyday essentials and services
  • Continued pressure for graduated income tax and new revenue proposals
  • Chronic overspending driven by pension debt and expanded government programs


Republicans believe:
Lower taxes, controlled spending, and fiscal discipline protect working families.
