Trump cuts could shrink Illinois economy by $10B: report – Capitol News IL

“Phasing out clean energy tax credits, pausing Chicago-area transit projects, and freezing funding for energy projects will eliminate construction jobs for blue collar tradespeople that would have been covered by prevailing wage standards and registered apprenticeship requirements, undermining the goal of ‘making America skilled again’ that has been advanced by the Trump administration,” the report said.
