Illinois Republicans blame taxes, lawsuits after Morton Salt exits Chicago – Center Square

“It’s absolutely a trend,” state Sen. Chris Balkema said. “The overall scenario that keeps playing out in Illinois is the higher taxes, the inability for us as a General Assembly right now to dial down the workers’ compensation laws, and the lack of tort reform. Companies run the numbers and look at the cost of doing business in Illinois, and it becomes easy for them to make a decision to relocate to another state.”

It is not only the high taxes, but also the future of even higher taxes. It is a must to fund the hundreds of billions of underfunded pension$. The public sector greed has and is destroying businesses and future job opportunities.
