Grayslake Residents Join Rep. Yingling in State in Support of Property Tax Freeze Relief

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. –Members of Grayslake’s Carillon North Community visited Springfield Thursday to speak in support of pro-taxpayer measures being championed by state Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake.

“This group of Grayslake residents are joining me in my fight to freeze property taxes and give local homeowners the relief that they deserve,” said Yingling. “Today, we sent a loud message to Springfield politicians that we will not allow ourselves to be taxed out of our homes. It’s time for real and meaningful tax relief that helps middle-class families and senior citizens.”

Residents spoke in support of Yingling’s measures to freeze property taxes, expand property tax relief for seniors and encourage government consolidation during a hearing of the House Revenue & Finance Committee on Thursday. The group has been engaged in on-going conversations with Yingling and the trip to the Capitol was organized by Yingling and Grayslake residents Paul Bernardoni and Bill Morris.
