GENEVA – Illinois House and Senate candidates talked taxes, pensions and job creation Monday at a forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County.

Candidates for the 25th Senate District – Republican Jim Oberweis and Democrat Corinne Pierog – and for the 50th House District– Republican Kay Hatcher and Democrat Andrew Bernard – fielded questions from a small audience at Geneva High School.

When moderator Patti Lackman asked a question about whether they would support a graduated income tax, candidates disagreed about how that would affect taxpayers.
