Issues

Campaign themes

2012

Hurley's campaign website listed the following issues:

• Providing Tax Relief

Excerpt: "Last year, the State of Illinois balanced its budget using a massive, temporary tax increase on individuals and businesses. With so many families struggling to make ends meet, this was an irresponsible time to impose any additional burden on the taxpayers."

• Business Development & Job Creation

Excerpt: "Attracting new businesses and creating jobs should be a top priority for all levels of Government."

• Fiscal Responsibility Starts in Springfield

Excerpt: "Across the country, families everywhere are tightening their belts. Our elected officials should lead by example and share the burden of our financial crisis."

• Reforming the Budget Process

Excerpt: "State Government must operate within its means."

• Restoring Trust in Government

Excerpt: "As an Illinois taxpayer, I am fed up and sick of self-serving politicians who have repeatedly abused our trust and misused our tax dollars."

• Strengthening Our Schools

Excerpt: "As a mother of three children, I understand the important role that schools play in any community. If elected, I will do everything in my power to ensure that the State properly funds education."
