Righter cites task force on unfunded mandates in Illinois
State Sen Dale Righter says a yearlong study by the Local Government and Unfunded Mandates Task Force offers common sense reforms to reduce unfunded mandates and the number of local governments. The report calls for a four year moratorium on new local governments, township consolidation, school district consolidation incentives, driver education mandate relief, and a constitutional amendment on unfunded mandates, aiming to ease property tax burdens noted as among the highest in the nation.

Governor Bruce Rauner said he would back a Democratic pension plan if it includes a union weakening provision on collective bargaining. He spoke with Senate President Cullerton about a plan offering state workers a choice on reduced benefits, but the two sides disputed specifics. Cullerton rejected Rauner’s stance on collective bargaining, while the administration argued it is a core element to withstand legal challenge.
