1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, Proposed projects and plans to support job and | ||||||
3 | economic growth for the south suburbs of the State of Illinois | ||||||
4 | include the Peotone
airport, a trauma center, approval of the | ||||||
5 | Illiana Tollway, a commitment to property tax reduction, and a | ||||||
6 | commitment to maintain the vitality of the Local Government | ||||||
7 | Distributive Fund; and
| ||||||
8 | WHEREAS, The construction of Chicago's third airport, or | ||||||
9 | the south
suburban airport, will help bring new businesses to | ||||||
10 | neighboring
municipalities and give south suburban residents | ||||||
11 | easier access to a
local airport for traveling; and
| ||||||
12 | WHEREAS, The construction of a local trauma center will | ||||||
13 | help south suburban
communities better deliver care for mental | ||||||
14 | health services and address
chronic gun violence; and
| ||||||
15 | WHEREAS, The commitment to creating the long-studied and | ||||||
16 | federally-approved Illiana Tollway will create easier road | ||||||
17 | travel for commuters
and truckers, create short and long-term | ||||||
18 | local jobs, and boost regional
economic output by an estimated | ||||||
19 | $4 billion; and
| ||||||
20 | WHEREAS, Along with these projects, property tax reduction | ||||||
21 | must also
be a key economic component of growth for the south |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | suburbs and across Illinois
to keep homeowners in our State and | ||||||
2 | continue developing the region; and
| ||||||
3 | WHEREAS, The Local Government Distributive Fund is vital to | ||||||
4 | expanding local economies in the south suburbs, and the funds | ||||||
5 | from this program should not be diminished in any way; and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, These projects will help foster economic | ||||||
7 | development in
cities and villages in the south suburbs, | ||||||
8 | helping generate long-term
economic activity and creating | ||||||
9 | much-needed jobs for the area; therefore, be it
| ||||||
10 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
11 | HUNDRED FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
12 | we believe these projects are necessary for job and economic | ||||||
13 | growth in the south suburbs and should be supported by all; and | ||||||
14 | be it further
| ||||||
15 | RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this resolution be | ||||||
16 | delivered to all
Illinois constitutional officers, the Speaker | ||||||
17 | and Minority Leader of
