Gov. Illinois 50% Income Tax Hike Is Needed To Fight Deficit


Gov. Pat Quinn Says Illinois Income Tax Hike Is Needed To Fight Deficit
"Gov. Pat Quinn confirmed Friday that he plans to raise taxes on some Illinois residents to combat deficits in a difficult state budget, and called for broader tax reform.
Quinn said Friday that he plans to hike taxes for families that make more than $56,000 a year"

hmmm, no mention of cutting teacher or state government union member pay, benefits or retirement.

We, in the other America, must tighten our belts so union members can loosen theirs.
