First, I'd want an audit of where all the taxes currently collected have been spent. One of the problems in IL is that there are multiple taxing entities with no oversight. State, County, City, Township, Water Reclamation, Mosquito Abatement, School District, etc...everybody wants their piece. Then you find out something like the head of Mosquito Abatement District has 3 family members on staff of 4 and is pulling down $400K/year doing nothing.
