Lou Sandoval, of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce: "At a time when taxpayers have been forced to deal with the lingering effects of inflation (and recent signs of continuing rising costs), international trade uncertainty, challenging policies coming out of Washington and recent tax increases enacted both locally and at the state level, with additional onerous tax proposals being considered at City Hall, Illinoisans deserve to have clear answers ahead of significant tax increases being considered."
Public transit shouldn’t get another dime until the cut waste, political and DEI hires. Chicago should pay for CTA and its mismanagement. Leave the suburbs and the rest of the state alone. Chicago made this mess, let Chicago pay for it.
