(The Center Square) – As the clock continues to tick toward the end of the legislative session in Springfield, Republican lawmakers are calling on Democrats to include them in property tax relief talks. Major recent proposals from Democrats – such as the ‘Megaprojects Bill’ – have sought to address property tax issues that have drawn criticism from Republicans. State Reps. Jennifer Sanalitro, R-Hanover Park, Nicole La Ha, R-Lemont, Jeff Keicher, R-Sycamore, Dan Ugaste, R-Geneva, spoke about their proposals to bring property tax relief to Illinoisans on Tuesday. The lawmakers said their proposals are realistic and worthy of bipartisan consideration. “I've been here for eight years and so has the governor. And finally, he's ready to acknowledge there's a property tax problem here in Illinois,” Ugaste said. “We brought this out there. We wouldn't be here without us. So, bring us to the table. We need to be present. We need to be talking with you.” Ugaste said with House and Senate Democrat leadership also on board to bring relief, it's time for Democrats to fairly consider their colleagues across the aisle. Rep. Keicher highlighted key proposals the Republican Caucus put forward in the House, including an initiative to restart funding for property tax relief grants to school districts through the Illinois State Board of Education. The board has also recently requested their similar grant program be funded, but the General Assembly has failed to do so in recent years. Pritzker’s proposed budget for the coming fiscal year maintains that status quo. La Ha noted trends have pointed to residents facing difficulties in affording their local property taxes. “These families have done everything right and they're still being squeezed,” La Ha said. “In some of the hardest hit areas, about 10% of homeowners were only able to make partial payments on their property tax bills. That trend points to real financial strain.” Similarly, Keicher noted other proposals they would like to see considered include efforts to bring more transparency to the taxation process and give regular oversight to voters. He said a new approach is needed overall, but none of their proposals are radical. “We are in a hole so deep we need to stop digging. The only way out of the tax mess that we find ourselves in today is to grow our economy to diversify our tax base,” Keicher said. Sanalitro fielded questions on the ongoing negotiations and changes to the Megaprojects Bill, as she was one of the 10 House Republicans to vote in favor of the bill. “I voted for that bill because Illinois is starved for economic economic development, growth, jobs, and I feel like this bill brings all of that. I'm going to be watching the Senate closely with the amendment, and we'll make sure that the property taxpayers are protected in that bill,” Sanalitro said.

Those ballots were initially counted by the city and county despite a state law requiring that absentee ballots be “delivered to the polling place no later than 8 p.m.” in order to be tallied. Madison argued that counting those late-arriving ballots was in line with past court decisions holding that voters shouldn’t be disenfranchised solely for clerks’ mistakes. The Dane County Board of Canvassers sided with the city at the time, voting 2-1 to count the ballots the week after the election. Then the state election commission last week said that the 8 p.m. deadline is not flexible — even if election officials’ errors are the only reason votes arrived that late. Commissioners ultimately voted 5-1 last Thursday to order Dane County and Madison not to count the 23 ballots, though one of the commissioners who voted in favor, Democratic Chair Ann Jacobs, said at the time that she hoped Madison or Dane would appeal the commission’s order in court.“Like so many, I am unhappy that the law requires that the actions of the clerk penalize a lawful, proper voter, and I think our judiciary needs to address that conflict,” Jacobs told Votebeat after the Dane County vote on Tuesday. “I wish it was within the province of the commission to do so. I don’t think it is, so I am hopeful the judiciary will see and address this conflict.”The county decided to appeal the order largely because the statute stipulating that ballots must be delivered by 8 p.m. “specifically addresses what should happen if the ballot is returned to the clerk on election day,” a legal memo from Dane County corporation counsel David Gault states. Because Madison received the ballots on the Monday before Election Day — not on Election Day itself — that statute doesn’t apply, he said.In any case, Gault wrote, that law “should not be construed to disenfranchise an elector who has strictly complied with all statutory requirements to cast an absentee ballot. Such a construction would, in my opinion, be unconstitutional as applied to the facts of this case.”While voting to appeal, the Dane County Board of Canvassers also ordered Madison to redo its certification without counting those 23 votes — in line with the commission order. Madison redid its canvass late Tuesday morning without those 23 votes. Madison City Attorney Mike Haas said the city has 30 days to appeal the commission decision and hasn’t decided yet whether to appeal.Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell, a Democrat, told Votebeat that he hopes the Board of Canvasser’s appeal can be filed and ruled on quickly enough to reinstate those votes. But because the exclusion of those votes didn’t affect the outcome of any race and a ruling before the May 15 state deadline to canvass is unlikely, he said his focus is more on how courts say these situations should play out going forward for voters.“They should not be penalized by a clerk error and have their constitutional right to vote taken away,” he said.Alexander Shur is a reporter for Votebeat based in Wisconsin.
