Years served: 2011 - Present

Committee assignments: Committee of the Whole; Agriculture and Conservation (Minority Spokesperson); Commerce; Financial Institutions; Higher Education; Transportation.

REFORM (or the lack thereof)

McCann voted against establishing a commission to work towards reducing the size of government.

McCann voted against HB268 - the Local Government Consolidation Commission Act of 2011. HB268 establishes a commission of legislative members appointed by the legislative leaders and local government representatives appointed by the Governor to report to the General Assembly on consolidating local governments. (2011)

McCann voted against reducing the size and cost of government.

McCann voted against SB173 - a bill that would have reduced the size and cost of government through consolidation or elimination of unnecessary units of local government. Illinois now has almost 7,000 taxing districts – far exceeding the number of any other state. Republican lawmakers had an incredible opportunity to strike a blow for limited government, but instead they chose big government over reform. (2011)
