Issue Position: Fix the Broken Tax System

Issues: Taxes
Ortiz knows Chicago families are slammed year after year with higher property taxes because of a system that favors the ultra-wealthy at our expense. He voted to fix the failed property system, provide seniors with additional tax relief, and give an annual property tax rebate to middle-class and struggling families in our community while ensuring our schools, city services, and health care receive the funding they need.
Ortiz is putting middle-class families first. Ortiz's plan cuts taxes for 98.4% of people in our district while making ultra-rich billionaires pay their fair share, investing in career training to prepare people for high-wage jobs, and reining in skyrocketing healthcare and prescription drug costs.
