Candidate with a sense of urgency

Posted February 23, 2016 11:01 pm

I would like to express my deep concern regarding the financial condition of Illinois and the increasing burden placed on taxpayers. Property taxes, which are the second highest in the nation, continue to rise and erode discretionary incomes of hard working families.

Dan Wilbrandt understands the sense of urgency and severity of our situation and is committed to making Illinois a state where individuals and businesses can live, work, and raise their families without the burden of a corrosive tax environment. Dan supports a tax freeze and is committed to pension reform as well as pension preservation for those who have earned and been promised their benefits. Dan will work to make Illinois a favorable business climate and promote job creation because we need more taxpayers, not higher taxes.

Dan will tirelessly serve Illinois with integrity and I strongly encourage voters in Representative District 66 to support Dan Wilbrandt.
