ILLINOIS SENATE REPUBLICANS ARE HOPING TO STAVE OFF ANY RENEWED ATTEMPTS TO PASS A PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX. 

IN 2020, VOTERS SHOT DOWN AN EFFORT TO MOVE ILLINOIS FROM A FLAT TAX TO A PROGRESSIVE TAX WHERE THOSE EARNING MORE, PAY MORE IN TAXES. THERE’S BEEN TALK OF TRYING AGAIN BUT SENATE G-O-P LEADER JOHN CURRAN SAYS THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.

BUT SENATOR NEIL ANDERSON OF ANDALUSIA SAYS THIS IS NOT AN EFFORT THAT SHOULD BE REVIVED.

GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER WAS RECENTLY ASKED ABOUT THE ISSUE AND HE SAID PURSUING A GRADUATED INCOME TAX AGAIN IS NOT ON HIS RADAR.
