Refunds to those with tariff receipts only. Tough luck Pritzker. Now, what about the ‘no tax on tips’ for workers!?
Consumers not getting a refund, even though consumers actually payed the tariffs, not companies.
Perhaps JB could display the same passion for those gouged by Com Ed during the “ Madigan era?”. Or if he is suddenly a consumer advocate like the late David Horowitz, ease and ( I know I’m dreaming ) rescind the highest gas taxes in the country? How about a break on outrageous property taxes? Nope, he can’t tie those things to Bad Orange Man and further his progressive, Marxist agenda, so they won’t ever be considered.
Right, he’s always been looking for ways to make things more affordable for Illinois families.
