Progressive income tax rates passes House committee, won’t be called for full vote Friday – Center Square

There was some disagreement among Democrats about the proposed rates. State Rep. Yehiel Kalish, D-Chicago, said he thought the proposed income tax rates were too low. "I want to be on record saying that I don't think we go high enough," he said. "Honestly, if we are going to tax and if we're going to pass a tax, I fully believe that we have to pay the bills [from] the last four years that we've accumulated by an administration that refused to pay its bills."
