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.

With Illinoisans increasingly likely to move, Pritzker’s tax plan would send more moving vans toward the state line, and hit the gas.

Senate lawmakers chose to delay voting on an amendment that would allow Illinois’ income tax structure to go from flat to progressive.

Polling of likely voters shows why some Democratic Illinois House members could regret voting for the governor’s graduated income tax.
