For Pritzker and the rest of us: Now comes the hard part – Rich Miller – Crain’s

Comment: So, now the leader of the media's "sky isn't falling" crowd who has ridiculed  for years us who think differently will enlighten us with his solutions: A token nod to government consolidation, cutbacks in property tax exemptions (which would have a trivial revenue effect) and redistributing property tax burdens, leaving, as you'd expect, one that's significant -- higher state taxes. How? How much? What would that fix? No answers on that, of course.
