The higher fees took effect weeks after Mayor Brandon Johnson in December announced his “Cut the Tape for Small Business” initiative. A steep “increase in fees seems like a lot more red tape to me,” one applicant said. “It’s prohibitively expensive for small service-based businesses — cleaning, creatives, tutors, home-based businesses — many of whom operate on narrow margins. They are barely making ends meet and can’t absorb a sudden $1,000 upfront cost.”
Businesses have found a way to significantly reduce the insane tax and regulatory burdens imposed by JB the Hutt, Mayor Cliff Notes, and the rest of the cretinous, craven Illinois political animals.
They leave.

This no surprise, it’s just the beginning. The fee increases are not limited to those identified in the article. Look for the COLA indexed increases, too. These fees apply equally to businesses making $0 after expenses as well as those making $1M. Start-ups beware. This is no place to do business.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
The crime here is that illegals have to pay the same fee’s as Americans.
If you are a job creator it is best that you leave for another state as costs will only go higher, much higher.
