CHICAGO—National Taxpayers United of Illinois (NTUI), Illinois’ largest taxpayer organization, today named State Senator A. J. Wilhelmi (D-43, Crest Hill), its “Tax Villain of the Month.”
“Sen. Wilhelmi has been pummeling Illinois taxpayers unmercifully,” said Jim Tobin, NTUI President. “In the last two sessions of the Illinois General Assembly, from 2007 to 2010, he voted for every significant tax increase bill, including the infamous SJRCA92, an amendment to the Ill. Constitution that would have converted state personal and corporate income tax rates from their current flat rates to graduated rates, making it easier to raise rates by appealing to class warfare themes.”
