Voters should send this message on Pritzker’s ‘fair tax’ – Joe Cahill – Crain’s

"Rather than broader power and more billions to spend, voters should hand Springfield the shock therapy of a rejection at the polls. Only then would politicians be forced to take real action on the pension shortfall before it devours even more of the state budget. Vote 'no.'"

True. U-haul rate for 26′ truck from Chicago to Phoenix $4,025. From Phoenix to Chicago $1,720 and that’s not including bullet proof vests and armed guards trying to leave Chicago.

If the progressive tax isn’t voted in, the real action the IL pols will take will be to raise the flat tax rate.
