On May 27, 2008 Jim Tobin was interviewed by Chicagoland TV (CLTV) and Fox TV Chicago to discuss huge increases in total state revenue since 2003 and the 2,500 government pension millionaires.
Good news out of Springfield yesterday as the state senate voted on SJRCA92. This graduated income tax amendment needed 3/5 majority to pass, yet SJRCA92 received only 32%. We crushed this bill with only 19 senators voting “YEA”, 35 voting “NAY” and 1 voting “PRESENT”.
SJRCA92 is a terrible amendment because it allows for class warfare and it is just another way for the state to try to take more of your income. NTUI continues to urge the state government to control spending and fix a pension system that is out of control.
