US EditionTexas vs. Illinois is telling for America
ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – Texas lawmakers pursue property tax cuts and spending limits while Illinois continues to face worsening tax burdens without concrete relief measures, experts say.
- In 2023, Texas Governor Greg Abbott received support from more than 80% of voters for an $18 billion initiative designed to reduce financial pressure on homeowners and businesses.
- This plan follows Abbott's recent announcement that lawmakers will address property taxes and limit government spending in a special session.
- Meanwhile, Austin's property tax levy rose from $675 million in 2018 to over $1 billion in 2022, reflecting ongoing local spending increases.
- In contrast, Illinois ended its latest legislative session with new tax hikes and stalled efforts on property tax relief amid transit funding talks.
- These developments show Texas pursuing tax and spending reforms, while Illinois faces continued tax increases and unresolved property tax challenges.
