Republican Legislative Leaders Statement Rejecting Waiting Until January to Vote on Pension Reform
“We fear that Democrat leaders' recent comments about passing a pension reform bill in January with Democrat only votes will lead to a massive property tax increase, just like they shoved through the largest income tax increase on Illinois residents two years ago. We can’t keep throwing new revenue at our problems, especially from the taxpayers in this state. We remain committed to passing real, comprehensive pension reform in a bi-partisan way that does not include another enormous tax increase on our residents.”
-Sen. Christine Radogno - Rep. Tom Cross

A graduated income tax is needed.
For 20 years, the tax rate of 3% was too low. Now the only solution is to join other progressive states with a graduated income tax.
