SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Javier Loera Cervantes was joined by the Clean Energy Choice Coalition and his colleagues for a press conference on a proposal that would make utilities more affordable, accessible and environmentally friendly.

“This is an issue from rural Illinois to Chicago,” said Cervantes (D-Chicago). “Consumer protection is extremely important for us to get in front of. As the energy sources change, we need to make sure that we protect our consumers statewide.”

“The Child Tax Credit program has been a lifeline for working families, allowing them to afford essentials like child care, diapers and school supplies,” said Aquino (D-Chicago). “As the cost of living continues to rise, Illinois must invest in programs that ease the economic burden on working families.”

SPRINGFIELD — State Senator Celina Villanueva is again calling for action after years of Senate work to protect homeowners from losing the equity in their homes through the property tax sale system.

“This isn’t a new issue, we’ve been working on it for years,” Villanueva (D-Chicago) said. “We cannot continue to let this issue fall by the wayside while families — especially seniors and working-class homeowners — remain at risk of losing not just their homes, but the equity they worked their entire lives to build.”
