Here's one reason that Personal PAC is putting so much effort to help re-nominate State Rep. Mark Beaubien.

Conservative challenger Denny Driscoll is bring up all sorts of inconvenient votes that Beaubien has cast.

Among them are his votes against the property tax cap seven times (HB 5734, SB 83 -Public Act 93-0601 and its veto override, SB 1981 - Public Act 93-0612 and it's veto override, SB 1049 and SB 1498)

Driscoll's headline is

Property Tax Caps Are Important.
Mark Beaubien Didn't Care.

The next headline is

Illinois ranks 45th in Job Growth and our state's
median income has dropped significantly.
Mark Beaubien Didn't Care!

Beneath is

Beaubien voted for an $82 million increase in trucking fees for business and $2.2 billion in increased fees and taxes for the rest of us. (Bill numbers are cited.)

Finally,

Estate Taxes Cheat Our Families.
Mark Beaubien Didn't Care!

Being held accountable for one's votes can be upsetting.
