“High inflation and the cost of living impacts families and retirees across Illinois. I’m proud to back legislation to protect senior citizens and their
retirement income to ensure tax relief for those that need it the most. I will always back legislation that supports a cause to make Illinois a more affordable and safer place to live.”
Providing Senior Property Tax Relief
The rising cost of living in Illinois has a disproportionate effect on retired residents. Representative Coffey continues to fight for tax relief to make living in Illinois more affordable, especially for those on fixed incomes. (HB1074, HB1154, HB1274)
Fighting Financial Exploitation
Scams targeting seniors are on the rise, which is why Representative Coffey has backed legislation to provide greater protections from financial exploitation for seniors 70 or older. (HB 2100)
Protecting Retirement Security
Seniors have worked hard for their retirement income and were promised it will not be taxed upon retirement. Representative Coffey works to protect retirement security. (HR24)
Lowering the Cost of Living
Providing tax relief to residents will always be a top priority for Representative Coffey, including measures that would help lower grocery bills while still providing support to local communities. (HB4987)
