Illinois to reinstate Blue Collar Jobs Act – Center Square

The legislation makes $20 million in tax credits available annually for eligible companies. Said state Rep. Ryan Spain, "We [Republicans] would advocate that we need to continue to make changes, wholesale, large-scale changes to improve the economic competitiveness of the state of Illinois. So I hope this can be a starting point where Democrats are listening to Republicans and understanding what we need to do to make sure that we are growing our economy."
