We advocate for a competitive tax climate that encourages entrepreneurship, investment, and job creation.

The Chamber opposes excessive regulations and government overreach that complicate business operations and increase costs, particularly concerning employment law and workers' compensation.

Addressing Illinois's fiscal crisis is critical.  The state must cap spending for several years and develop a long-term strategy to tackle the structural budget deficit, including unfunded pension liabilities.  Without significant reforms, pension costs threaten core government services and could lead to tax increases.

To restore public trust, The Chamber supports meaningful ethics reform aimed at combating corruption and rebuilding confidence in state government.

The process of drawing electoral districts is crucial for fair elections.  The Chamber supports efforts to amend the Illinois Constitution to transfer this responsibility to an independent, nonpartisan panel.

The Mid-Illinois Medical District (MIMD), established in 2003, promotes healthcare development and biomedical research.  The Chamber advocates for state funding to support the MIMD's growth.

The state must invest adequately in our transportation network, leveraging resources from the Rebuild Illinois program and federal funding opportunities.

The Chamber supports an energy policy that prioritizes carbon capture technologies alongside renewable energy solutions to drive economic growth and enhance sustainability.
