We have a $9 billion dollar budget hole and spending is going up: about 45% since 1998. The population has only grown about 4%. We have a spending problem. The Illinois Policy Institute is offering liberty-based solution policies.
The Economic Reform Agenda was announced by the Institute and State House Republican Leader Tom Cross on March 11th. The policies include a 3/5 majority votes on tax and fee increases (I agreed with this as a state senate candidate in 2008) and a Stimulus Watch Act, requiring all programs started by the stimulus funding must end when funds are no longer available.
As a result, the Illinois Policy Institute has become the leading pro-taxpayer policy voice in Illinois. Key information is also available from them regarding state public policy.
