Thompson budget stalls income tax hike amid Chicago mayor race
Legislators split along party lines over Gov. Thompson's FY 1990 budget which avoids an income tax increase while boosting education and social services. Some lawmakers foresee tax changes after the Chicago mayoral election and possible revenue shifts, with figures like $230,000 for a Dixon armory kitchen and $49,000 for White Pines water mains noted amid broader funding for education, drugs, and transportation.
