A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
Whats interesting to note here is that high taxes was not mentioned as a reason for people leaving Illinois. So many posters here have mentioned higher taxes as a reason people are and will, leave Illinois. This study does not back up the assertion that high taxes are causing people to leave our State..
Anybody want to explain why taxes were not mentioned as a reason for movers leaving the State?
Because the survey did not allow that as an option. see http://www.census.gov/hhes/migration/files/cps/cps2015/tab17-1.xls
Other was an option….people who left becouse of taxes….had the option for other. Not sure what methodology was used in this study but it most certainly does not support that Illinois taxes are a common reason for people’s exudus.
