Political leaders in Springfield already are planning to pull the wool over voters’ eyes by campaigning against tax increases this fall and then quickly turning around, when the electoral pressure is off, and voting for a big increase. Some are even brashly predicting this trickery will work.

 “We’re going to pass a tax increase in January.
 We expect it is going to be substantial.”

-David Vaught, Illinois Budget Director
 Reported in Bloomberg News, July 28, 2010

We can put this scam to bed now. Stand with us for honest, accountable government that says “no” to a tax increase.
