Meanwhile, our betters in the Kingdom of Chicago tell us the ‘temporary’ (Believe that?) state income tax needs to be made permanent. Or even better, be morphed into a regulatory monster like the Fedzilla version in order to ensure that the ‘rich’ pay their fair share.
IL was $7B in debt. The ‘temporary’ tax increase reportedly brought in $5B of which only $2B was spent on the debt it was passed to pay off. Nobody is certain where the remaining $5B went, but a lot of downstate fingers sure are pointing to the north to the Kingdom on the Lake.
So we remain $5B in debt but now must pony up $100M to build a shrine to a president most outside of the Kingdom did not vote for? FRiends, only in IL.
