Tax reform in Madison County

You currently have members in Edwardsville putting together a committee to push a proposed idea of tax reform up to Springfield. This proposition calls for "a sales tax for education and a simpler property tax bill".
Now they are ready to "Storm Springfield"!
It's great that we have groups being so aggressive with new ideas and wanting to push it up the chain, but during these talks there have been no mention of utilizing their Representatives to assist in this pressure.

We needs groups pushing issues in all of our districts and really trying to make a stand and I believe that we should be using our Representative assets to assist in getting these propositions heard and really looked at. It seems that our current reps are really just meandering around the same ideas and issues that they always have which is great, but they need to be pushing new ideas and getting feedback from their constituents on the current issues really hitting people hard.
Where is the innovation?
