The National Taxpayers United of Illinois is launching a media campaign to oppose Senate Bill 2288 which would raise your state income tax by 67%. Three radio commercials have already been produced and you can hearing them today on the radio. It is extremely important that the taxpayers let their voices be heard on this tax increase.
Here are the three radio spots: One, Two, Three.
CHICAGO—The president of Illinois’ largest taxpayer organization urged taxpayers to call their state senators and ask that they vote “No” on Senate Bill 2288, sponsored by M. Maggie Crotty (D-19, Oak Forest), Michael Noland (D-22, Elgin) and Kimberly Lightford (D-4, Westchester), which last week was sent to the senate floor by the Senate Education Committee. “The tax increases in this bill are not only unnecessary, but would devastate the Illinois economy,” said Jim Tobin, President of National Taxpayers United of Illinois (NTUI).
Jim Tobin held a press conference today in Springfield, Il to expose the state revenue “crisis.” 12 members of the press were on hand, including, the local ABC tv affiliate channel 20, WGN Radio and the Illinois Radio Newtork. Jim exposed the reality of the state revenue “crisis” to show that state revenues continue to increase for the 6th consecutive year.
