The State Legislature has been working on increasing the state income tax and the sales tax on cigarettes. I did not see it mentioned about cutting spending. They claim that most of the income tax increase will be temporally, but twice before the Legislature has raised taxes only temporarily and the taxes are still with us. They raise taxes and increase spending, then expect us to pick up the tab.
The economy of our State is at a disadvantage, the State Capital raises taxes while our neighboring states welcomes businesses and consumers from Illinois trying to escape higher Illinois taxes. Our State is broke and all the Democratic controlled Legislature can come up with is to raise taxes.
When will the day come when this State starts to have a government that watches over the assets of the people and stops treating tax dollars as something that must be disposed of in the best manner they see fit?
