Deputy Leader Ryan Spain (R-Peoria) and State Representative Regan Deering (R-Decatur) held a press conference today to discuss the affordability issues plaguing Illinois due to Democrat policies and offered their solutions to provide Illinois families relief.
The Representatives’ main focus was on targeting taxes and fees that the state can control, like the gas tax. Illinois’ gas tax ranks second highest in the nation, being increased to 48.3 cents last July.
