Republican candidate Michael Babcock, who thought he was the sole choice for the district seat since incumbent Rep. Daniel Beiser (D-Alton) decided not to seek re-election, has another thing coming.
Illinois property taxes have risen 2.5 times quicker than inflation and 14 times faster than the state’s populace, according to the Illinois Policy Institute.
Michael Babcock would have done his best to stop House Bill 40 from ever reaching Gov. Bruce Rauner, the House candidate told the West Cook News recently.
