Illinois State Representative Jason Bunting announced on May 26 that he joined the Property Tax Reform Conference in the House of Representatives to advocate for changes to what he described as Illinois’ “badly broken property tax system.”
Bunting said that he and other members wrote to the Governor and leadership of the General Assembly urging action on property tax reform bills that were filed last spring and again this spring. He said, “Unfortunately, the leadership has thus far refused to act on this needed reform. So recently we tried again. With the number of session days dwindling down toward adjournment, we urged action for reform, but also for transparency and accountability in the property tax system.”
Bunting invited constituents to read their full letter calling for these reforms.
Bunting, a Republican, was elected to the Illinois State House in 2023 to represent the state’s 106th House District, replacing previous state representative Thomas Bennett, according to Representative Bunting’s office.
The future of proposed property tax reforms remains uncertain as legislative session days draw closer to adjournment.
