ROLL CALL
Candidates -9TH Legislative District
This candidates’ forum was pulled together within the span of about a week.
We did our best to reach out to every candidate who is on the ballot for the
upcoming Primary Election. We thank every candidate who was able to attend
on such short notice. The following candidates confirmed their participation
prior to the Candidates’ Forum:
Illinois ranked 48th out of 50 states in job growth between 1997 and
2007, according to the 2009 Alec-Laffer State Economic
competitiveness Index.
How would you go about improving the economic climate for the State
as a whole, and encourage job growth in communities like North
Lawndale?
Question 4
The State Legislature passed the so-called "accelerated billing" law that
requires that the first installment of property taxes due March 2 be
computed based on 55 percent of the total taxes paid last year, instead
of the usual 50 percent. This law is only in effect in Cook County, and
could have a detrimental effect on communities like North Lawndale,
where the median family income is $24,000 and the majority of the
people pay more than 40% of their income for housing related
expenses.
What strategies would you use to blunt the effects of this legislation?
