- History
- An overhaul of state pension systems that includes more reasonable benefits and raising of the retirement age, among other changes;
- Broadening of the tax base to include services and reductions in rates;
- Raising funds with capital construction bonds to update and integrate the antiquated information systems used by state agencies;
- Uprooting the state's entrenched culture of corruption via public financing of elections, redistricting reform, and revolving door prohibitions for lawmakers
Pointed, honest, and pragmatic, Fixing Illinois is a plan for effective and honest government that seeks an even nobler end: restoring our faith in Illinois's institutions and reviving a sense of citizenship and state pride.
