Lawmaker cites Cook County 30-year report and warns of outmigration
The lawmaker referenced a newly released 30-year Cook County property-tax report and said it underscores the need for a statewide study to understand trends and address property-tax pressures.

"We have outmigration we have to stop," the lawmaker said, urging policy steps to grow the state's population, economy and tax base. The transcript records the citation of the Cook County report but does not provide details from the report itself or independent analysis within the remarks.
