The Democrat backed measure will freeze property taxes for four years but it exempts a number of locations; Chicago, Chicago Public Schools and more than two dozen other school districts will not be impacted by a potential freeze. Democrat Mike Zalewski says the plan should be accepted by the Governor. 

 

 

But Republicans are leery of the exemptions. They want more time to negotiate. State Senator Karen McConnaughay says once the freeze is underway local voters need to be able to decide if those taxes should stay where they are or not. 

 

 

The full House still needs to vote and pass the measure.
