SPRINGFIELD — State Senator Laura Ellman backed a property tax relief package that increases property tax exemption thresholds for senior citizens in Illinois.

“Our seniors deserve peace of mind, not the fear of being priced out of their own homes,” said Ellman (D-Naperville). “This measure extends relief to older adults so they can stay rooted in their communities, surrounded by the people, memories and support systems that matter most.”

NAPERVILLE — State Senator Laura Ellman is urging federal lawmakers to resolve the ongoing government shutdown to prevent the cessation of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits, come Nov. 1. Nearly two million Illinois residents rely on SNAP to provide basic nutrition for themselves and their families.

"Federal SNAP dollars are there, but aren’t being released. Now families are wondering how they are going to make ends meet," said Ellman (D-Naperville). "Ensuring that families can put food on the table isn’t a Democratic or Republican issue — it’s a human one."
