Republican State Rep Candidates Call for 10% Cut in State Officials’ Salaries
Northwest Suburbs – David Harris, Billie Roth and Ryan Higgins, all Republican candidates for State Representative, today announced their intentions to, if elected, introduce legislation calling for a 10 percent salary cut for all elected and appointed state officials, including all legislators and statewide constitutional officers.
If enacted, the state would see more than $1.3 million in savings from cutting legislators’ base pay by 10 percent alone. The cuts would be permanent, as opposed to Gov. Quinn’s action last week to call for temporary cuts in the form of furlough days.

Statement on Governor Quinn’s Proposal To Cut State Lawmakers’ Salary
Streamwood, IL… Billie Roth (R – Streamwood), Republican candidate for the 44th State House District, reacted to Governor Pat Quinn’s proposal to reduce the salaries of state lawmakers in order to help balance Illinois’ $13 Billion deficit:
“While the governor’s views on the budget and tax increases do not reflect that of my own, I will say that I whole heartedly agree that lawmakers should feel the pain and take a pay cut just as many of the people we serve have had to do,” said Roth. “If small businesses are having to downsize to make ends meet, then so should lawmakers who make a pretty healthy salary off the tax-payer’s dime.”

SPRINGFIELD– Moments after Illinois legislators voted to borrow over $4 billion to fuel more government spending, State Representative Fred Crespo voted against a critical reform measure, the Illinois Forensic Audit Act. This important, common sense measure would have required a line-by-line review of how each taxpayer dollar is spent.
The Illinois Forensic Audit Act, HR 1057, would have authorized the Illinois Auditor General to conduct a comprehensive review of state spending and state contracts to identify areas of waste, fraud and mismanagement.

My Friends,
Enough is enough. If, like me, you’re fed up with the out-of-control government spending, misplaced priorities and the lack of reform and accountability that plagues Illinois – you’ve come to the right place.
The simple truth is; Illinois government has lost its way. Together we can bring about meaningful reform and replace the culture of corruption with a culture of accountability that demands results and encourages growth and innovation in our economy.
Through this website, you can learn more about me, sign up to volunteer, and learn how we can work together to achieve practical, common-sense solutions to resolve our state’s toxic budget mess, get control of spending, and reinvigorate our economy to once again provide jobs and opportunity for our families.
As your next State Representative, I will lead the fight against tax increases and the unbalanced budgets that place too heavy a burden on the working families and small businesses who continue to bear the brunt of a struggling economy. Throughout my service in local government, I have delivered on the same principles of accountability, reform, and fiscal responsibility that we need so desperately in Springfield.
Please consider taking a moment here to sign-up to volunteer. The success of our movement for reform depends in large measure on your personal investment in this campaign. I hope you will consider joining us on this very difficult, yet vital task. Please call with any questions or to volunteer at 630-901-6565 or e-mail me at rothbillie@yahoo.com.
Whether you have supported me in the past or are new to our fold, I invite you to join us in working to bring meaningful reform to Illinois beginning today. Change begins with each and every one of us standing together to demand reform. Working in that spirit of shared values, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.
I look forward to seeing you along the campaign trail.
Sincerely
Billie Roth
Republican for State Representative
