Lawmakers: Stop burdening working families; tax wealth and corporate profits fairly – Chicago Sun-Times

State Rep. Carol Ammons, State Sen. Graciela Guzmán and State Sen. Dave Koehler: "The idea that Illinois can cut its way out of this crisis — that gutting services for families already under pressure is somehow the responsible choice — is a fiction. The math doesn’t support it, and it would be deeply irresponsible to force working families to bear the cost of a budget crisis created in large part by the wealthy and large corporations failing to pay their fair share."
