REIGNITING ILLINOIS’ STRONG ECONOMY

The Reigniting Illinois’ Strong Economy (RISE) working group is focused on improving Illinois’ business climate. The group has proposed legislation to bring growth and hope for a brighter future in Illinois. 

Reigniting Illinois’ Strong Economy (RISE) with Tax Reductions
House Republicans are dedicated to reforms that improve our business climate to bring job creators and opportunities home to Illinois. Businesses in Illinois deserve relief from property tax rates – that are the second highest in the country – in order to unleash our state’s true economic potential.

Making Illinois a Pro-Growth State with Business Reform
Republican House members believe that with real state government reforms, Illinois will have everything we need to see businesses and families grow. Those reforms will bring real economic growth taking full advantage of our state’s location as the country’s transportation hub, our best in the nation, highly-skilled workforce, along with our highly-ranked universities.

Economic Growth Depends on a Responsible Energy Policy
Every business needs reliable affordable energy to work – especially our manufacturing sector. House Republicans filed common sense legislation to protect Illinois’ grid and ratepayers.
