-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
The bag tax won’t but the cemetery taxing districts will. Cemetery board of directors, all appointed of course, will ensure the voting rights of the cemetery voters.
Tax the plastic bags and they will all go our the window when I’m driving.
State can hire more union workers to go pick them up, a win win for this Democratic state!

2 cents each per 1000 bags. It isn’t A tax , its a fine for using them.
During the Covid days many stores in my area prohibited carry in reusable bags. Just think under some future edict of Pritzker you may be forced to pay a bag tax like it or not and the so called “we are saving the planet from plastic bags” was just a ruse.

I will bring boxes like at Aldi to put my groceries in if the stores don’t like it I will just put them in the shopping cart.
It amuses me that polls show IL voters main concern is an affordability crisis. How many taxes have been raised in IL lately? Gas taxes, streaming taxes, social media taxes, sin taxes, gambling taxes, cell phone taxes. Increased electricity and natural gas prices because of climate concerns. Now, a bag tax? The joke about taxing the air you breathe doesn’t seem so far fetched. How much of the affordability crisis is due to those small little insidious unavoidable taxes raised on so many facets of your life? Very hard to quantify, but very real.
