Central Illinois lawmakers are outlining their legislative priorities
and the issues they believe matter most to their constituents
for the upcoming veto session in Springfield.
A veto session is a time
when lawmakers can take action on bills the governor has vetoed.
But it also gives them a chance to bring up other bills
that maybe didn't make it through or even new ones.
Republican Representative Reagan Deering, who covers part
of McLean County, says that she is focused on three things.
Property tax reform, adding that current taxes
Taxes are too high, ethics reform after one chamber
member resigned over sexual harassment allegations,
and another is under federal indictment.
I think we could take a look at what's working well,
what demands we would like to make from
companies that are bringing data centers to our communities.
So I think that veto session is a great time
to get back to visiting the Power Act.
A number of my constituents have sent me emails since
this spring encouraging me to have that
conversation.
