Some Top Issues
Security and Reducing Crime
David has spoken with many 13th Ward residents about their concerns with the increasing amount of crime our community is experiencing. Most of the crime we are seeing is theft, but we work hard for the things we have and it is the duty of any government official to ensure the people's property, happiness, and well-being. That's why David has been attending several Beat meetings, neighborhood watch meetings, and speaking with law enforcement officials to better understand our problems and how to address them.
Pension Crisis
Illinois politicians have been kicking this can down the road for too long, leaving millions of people's financial futures in jeopardy. This irresponsible behavior has to be stopped. We need to hold our elected officials accountable for the decisions they make, especially the ones that affect our money. It is unacceptable that retirees have their income reduced after working their whole lives for it. David is determined to work with responsible city, county, and state government officials in finding, proposing, and implementing a solution that works for everyone.
Property Taxes
Every year, our property taxes rise and sometimes drastically so. It is becoming increasingly unaffordable to live in Chicago and Illinois in general. This is causing many tax-paying people to flee the state, which in turn causes our taxes to increase more. We are caught in a constant loop of losing revenue and raising taxes, and the burden falls on our backs. One of the ways our out-of-touch politicians decide to raise revenue is by unfairly reassessing our home values to indirectly raise our property taxes. This is a shady tactic because we will never receive the amount of money Cook County says our homes are worth when we go to sell them, but we are paying the property taxes as if we would.
