Tobin has devoted eight years promoting the Tax Accountability Amendment which would require a two-thirds supermajority in both houses of the General Assembly to enact any state revenue increase in Illinois. Trained as an economist, he teaches at Elmhurst College. George Ryan and Pate Phillip have broken their commitment to place the Tax Accountability Amendment on the November ballot. We need leadership that we can trust. That is the message that I intend to bring to the citizens of Illinois.
Time is up.
Illinois needs leaders who will address problems, not politicians who promise one thing to get support then ignore their commitments after an election. Jim is well known and widely respected for his efforts to cut taxes and spending in Illinois. With Jim, the voters of Illinois will be provided a real choice in the upcoming election. If nominated, Tobin will hold a news conference at 11 AM at the hotel, on April 19. The Libertarian Party is committed to reducing the role of government and taxation as well as advocating greater personal freedom and increased personal responsibility.
