As property tax bills hit Lake County mailboxes, residents get a stark reminder that Illinois needs pension reform, not higher taxes.

Lawmakers using the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability to convince constituents how great a progressive tax could be for Illinois are doing a disservice. Here are the straight tax facts.

The Senate’s progressive tax proposal already differs from Pritzker’s original plan while adding a property tax freeze full of loopholes.

As property tax bills hit DuPage County mailboxes, residents are reminded that Illinois needs pension reform, not higher taxes.

A progressive tax won’t stop constant property tax hikes. Pension reform will.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker has made middle-class tax relief a core promise of his “fair tax” plan. But now he says there are “no guarantees” he’ll keep it.

Why should Illinoisans trust an alleged tax cheat to judge the fairness of their tax bill?

Illinoisans needed extra time to pay all their federal, state and local taxes. As long as that took, a progressive state income tax would delay your freedom even more.
