Thank you Representative Paul Froehlich for filing an essential bill today. HB 4995 will offer "feebates" for buyers of certain vehicles.
Feebates are a combination of fees and rebates. Vehicles that are more efficient than average come to the showroom carrying a rebate for
their buyers. Those rebates are proportional to the efficiency of the
vehicle, so superefficient vehicles come with big rebates. Conversely, cars and trucks that are less efficient than average, come with a fee – a fee that grows with the vehicle's inefficiency. The fees pay for the rebates each year, so feebates are self-financing. |

Our
Mission
The Illinois
League of Conservation Voters (ILCV) is the political arm of the environmental
movement in Illinois. Through elections, we actively support candidates
who promote sustainable economic development and oppose candidates
who vote for anti-environmental legislation.
·
We run tough and effective campaigns to defeat anti-environment
candidates, and support those leaders who stand up for a clean,
healthy future for Illinois.
·
We hold elected officials accountable for their Environmental actions.
·
We build coalitions, promote grassroots power, and train the next
generation of environmental leaders.
But
don't just take our word for it.
"I urge
you to continue to support the ILCV in their efforts to hire campaign
staff for the 2006 midterm elections. The ILCV was one of the most effective
and active groups on my campaign. They supported me every step of the
way from collecting nominating petition signatures to helping me get
out the vote on Election Day. I can personally attest to the fact that
your donations will go a long way to help elect other environmentally
conscious candidates, like me, to office in the 2006 Midterm elections."
