Listening to former state Rep. Mary Edly-Allen, D-Libertyville, and Republican Adam Solano of Third Lake, talk about the SAFE-T Act, a voter might think the two Illinois state Senate candidates are speaking about two different pieces of legislation.
The two candidates also have varying views about dealing with gun violence, helping residents deal with the current level of inflation and women’s reproductive health in the aftermath of the June Supreme Court opinion returning that authority to the states.
“Judges can now base their decision on facts rather than fear,” Edly-Allen said. “They can take risk into account rather than riches” “The gas tax freeze holiday did not take the long view,” Solano said. “We should not do something to last 12 to 16 months before the next election. We need to look further down the road.”Property tax relief is also on Edly-Allen’s mind. She said taking a closer look at the use of tax increment financing districts by municipalities will help lower property taxes for individuals. Finding systemic changes to things like the cost of health care could have an impact reducing costs.
Solano said he believes there should be some limits on abortion. He does not want the procedure funded by tax dollars, and is concerned about terminating a pregnancy in the eighth or ninth month. There should be no restrictions in cases of rape or incest. He does believe in making sure a woman has all the facts.
