Illinois has some of the highest property taxes in the country. Last spring, the General Assembly established a bipartisan task force to tackle the issue. But the task force -- and a draft report of its recommendations -- are now being attacked by Republicans, who say their ideas and contributions have been ignored. Is that the case? Two Illinois lawmakers join us.
