Representatives Paul Froehlich (D-56), Fred Crespo (D-44), and Mark L. Walker (D-66) opposed a bill that would have lowered the sales tax rate in Schaumburg from 10% (second highest in nation to Chicago) to 9%, breaking key campaign pledges in the process.

A new Web site and blog named the Schaumburg Freedom Coalition recently started and it says it will feature information about taxes, corporate welfare, eminent domain, transparency, public safety and more.
