Governor Jabba Von Fat A$$ Von Billionaire (D-ILL) has proposed a statewide 5 cent tax on plastic bags.
<<<<<<<The proposed budget reads, “the state can reduce the use of plastic bags in check-out lanes and generate $19 million to $23 million in new revenue (CONTRADICTORY AIMS!!!!!!!) with a five-cent-per-bag tax depending on whether or not the City of Chicago, which already has a plastic bag tax, is exempted.”
Chicago is one of a handful of U.S. cities to impose a bag tax, levying a 7-cent-per-bag tax for both paper and plastic grocery bags since February 2017.
California bans single-use plastic bags and mandates certain businesses to levy a 10-cent minimum charge for recycled paper bags, reusable plastic bags and compostable bags. The stores that sell the bags keep the fee money. Washington, D.C., in 2009 passed a 5-cent tax on disposable paper and plastic bags for businesses that sell food or alcohol.
In contrast to Illinois, NCSL research shows neighboring states such as Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana all have state laws on the books preventing local bag taxes.

Note, if you pay with food stamps you are exempt from the Chi City bag tax. I didn’t know that about Cali, psychotic.
CHubs also wants a graduate income tax, that he will personally use loopholes to dodge paying like when he took the toilets out of his “spare” mansion. He campaigned on that, but not on the bag tax, they never admitted they will rape the poor with taxes but ALWAYS do.
I propose a tax on double and triple chins, smugness, and spare mansion toilet removal.
Yes, yesterday, we had the 10 cent plastic bag tax proposed here in CT.
EBT peeps won’t pay it
