It cannot be a “Fair” tax as long as Pritzker is able to avoid ANY Illinois tax on his income from a Caribbean Trust , let alone a FAIR tax.

Great analysis Leslie! All you hear from Ralph is how we don’t spend enough at a state level. Anything outside of a pension adjustment should be a non-starter. If this amendment doesn’t pass, maybe some of the difficult decisions that MUST be made will be forced. NO VOTE HERE!
