Dear UCA Members:
With Governor Blagojevich proposing to raise 200 more fees and taxes after
raising over 300 last year, I decided to help the public of Illinois be more
informed about what is being done to them in Springfield, before it is too late.
I am utilizing a separate Committee, the Committee for Legislative Action, to
provide a website for people to see a listing of the fees imposed last year and
those planned for this year.
People will be appalled when they learn of the increase in hundreds of fees this
administration is implementing in order to fund their dramatic growth in
spending. The public usually learns about fee increases when they get the
letter from the state agency telling them what more to pay. By then it is
too late to do anything about it.
The website:
www.CommitteeForLegislativeAction.org (sponsored by the Committee for
Legislative Action ) provides a matrix of the fee increases Blagojevich
implemented last year, as well as those being planned for this year. In
addition, one can register thier opposition by signing a petition online,
printing one to circulate or by forwarding the link to others to particiapte.
The website will, hopefully, make it easier for the public to track what this
administration is planning to pick from their pocketbooks, before it happens.
I encourage you to go online and have a look for yourself.
Sincerely,
Dan Rutherford
