Illinois Republicans, it’s time to show bold leadership for working families – Opinion – Chicago Sun-Times

State Rep. Blaine Wilhour: "Let’s be perfectly clear: The defeat of the progressive income tax is a repudiation of the entire political class. Voters in Illinois are tired of paying the price for the reckless spending of career politicians of both political parties.... We need a specific agenda for anti-corruption reform, pension reform, spending reform and tax reform. We need policies that are geared towards revitalizing both the inner city and rural areas that too often are neglected and left behind."
