Vote NO on Rent Abatement - URGENT

There has been a lot of conversation among our legislators regarding tenant rights organizations pushing for rent abatement to help renters unable to pay rent. This is, at this very moment, being discussed in Springfield: Rep Delia Ramirez has introduced new legislation in favor of rent abatement and now she has support from Chicago Representatives and Senators. This, and similar bills being introduced, will not have a repayment option for landlords losing rent money. You can vote NO on the link below it is also very important to call your representatives and voice your opinions.

the politicians in Illinois just can't help themselves from moving further and further toward collectivism/socialism. The Peoples Republic of Illinois.....

@Henry Lazerow thanks for sharing this link. I had already seen this from several other land lord organizations, and I voted for sure.
