Friday, 11/9/2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (CHICAGO) — National Taxpayers United of Illinois (NTU) recently released its 12th non-partisan Tax Survey of the Illinois General Assembly. “The Survey details the tax and spending records of every member of the 94th General Assembly from January 2005 to January 2007…Sen. Chris Lauzen (R-25, Aurora), for the third time, has been rated one of the best Taxpayers’ Friends,” said NTU President Jim Tobin. “I am proud of my record of holding the line on spending people’s hard-earned tax dollars, especially during a time when Democrats control every level of government in the State Capitol. While some candidates for office may make attractive promises on tax issues, I have demonstrated through 15 years of votes, legislation, and battle scars, that I keep my commitments. I’m grateful for NTU’s award and pledge to continue my “friendship” with Illinois’ taxpayers if I am elected to Congress next year,” said Lauzen. Established in 1976, National Taxpayers United of Illinois (NTU) is the largest taxpayer organization in Illinois with over 10,000 members and affiliation with more than 200 local taxpayer organizations.
