ILLINOIS HOUSE REPUBLICANS SAY IT’S TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT RISING CONSUMER PRICES. 

THE G-O-P HAS PROPOSED RELIEF MEASURES SUCH AS SUSPENDING THE SALES TAX ON GAS WHEN INFLATION HITS A CERTAIN LEVEL. BUT REPRESENTATIVE PATRICK WINDHORST OF METROPOLIS SAYS, UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE BILLS HAVEN’T GOTTEN ANYWHERE.

REPRESENTATIVE AMY ELIK OF FOSTERBURG SAYS THESE PROPOSALS AREN’T BEING CALLED FOR A VOTE.

GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER HAS ALSO OFFERED SOME IDEAS SUCH AS REMOVING THE ONE PERCENT SALES TAX ON GROCERIES FOR ONE YEAR, BUT REPUBLICANS SAY THEY DON’T GO FAR ENOUGH TO PROVIDE REAL RELIEF.
