While the rights created in the amendment apply to just 7% of the state’s adult working population, the taxes it necessitates will hit everyone. The rights created don’t apply to the vast majority of Illinoisans. No other state has tried it. And it will drive up taxes and hurt our economy.
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
