Where are reforms?

Since tax talk is all the recent rage, let's not forget that Illinois passed a 32 percent tax hike this past July without any changes to the way Illinois operates. As we begin 2018, have Mike Madigan or John Cullerton proposed any changes to the status quo which would reduce Illinois' spending or improve economic growth? As a member of the much-exploited private sector of this state, I ask the legislative leaders, where are the reforms to streamline government, reduce waste, reduce cost, grow investment in Illinois and prevent yet another tax hike?

Obviously the status quo hasn't worked, do our leaders have any solutions in the works?
