The Illinois House has approved a property-tax freeze - one of the key points on Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner's agenda.
The measure doesn't apply to home-rule governments like Chicago and prohibits school districts from getting any more in property tax revenue than they did in 2015 unless voters approve an increase in a referendum.
Rauner's call for a tax freeze includes letting local governments control costs by restricting labor-union power and limiting wages on public construction jobs.
Republicans in favor of the proposal took the freeze even though it doesn't include the governor's reforms.
