SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Patrick Joyce (D-Essex) announces that he agrees with most of the priorities Gov. Pritzker identified in his State of the State address.

“Governor Pritzker hit the nail on the head about many of the problems Illinois must fix,” Joyce said. “He mentioned tackling the property tax system, an issue I’m passionate about. The communities in the South Suburbs I represent have some of the highest property tax rates in the country. That must be corrected.”

“Health care is also an area we must focus on,” Joyce continued. “I plan to promote legislation that assures better advocacy within the health care system.”
