The new governor has thus far refused to address the root causes of Illinois’ dismal finances.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s proposed progressive income tax won’t raise the revenue he claims, and will lead to future tax hikes on the middle class.

The governor’s progressive income tax hike will not deliver on promised revenue and will drag down Illinois’ struggling economy.

Small businesses are the engine of Illinois’ economy. But those responsible for creating nearly two-thirds of Illinois’ jobs in 2017 would get hit under the progressive income tax plan just released by Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

Every Illinoisan would need to see a tax hike to close the deficit and pay for Gov. J.B. Pritzker's promised new spending.

Shoppers across Illinois would pay a new state-level bag tax under Senate Bill 1240 and House Bill 3335. But Chicago shoppers, who already pay a city bag tax, would not.

Pritzker's proposed progressive income tax rates harm Illinois' economy, while hardly fulfilling his promises.

The last state to take Pritzker’s path should serve as a bright red flag to Illinoisans weighing whether to back him.

Despite Illinois’ governor’s claims, states with progressive income taxes face greater gaps between rich and poor.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker claims his progressive income tax will only affect the rich. But Illinoisans making as little as $26,100 would see an income tax hike under rates Pritzker cited in his budget address.
