Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has four main goals he would like to accomplish if re-elected in November, he told The Register-Mail Friday.

He also would like to see a law passed that would allow residents to control their own property tax levies through a referendum process.

 

“I think every community will have leaders who will want to say ‘hey, let’s do a referendum this year,’ because it’ll be very simple,” Rauner said. “I’ll help organize the movements of the different groups; we can help them do mailers, help them get out the word (that) ‘you can control your property tax levy; let’s bring them down.’ ”
