By: Mark Glennon* Every month, the Illinois Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability updates its numbers on how much revenue the state is collecting for its general fund. Its report for September has some good and some bad news. Compared to September of last year, total tax receipts are up 1.7%, thanks primarily to a 6.5% increase in income tax receipts.
