Illinois tax overhaul urged after nine month study
Gov elect George Ryan and the General Assembly receive a 25 page report from Gov. Edgar's Commission on Property Tax Reform. They call for a broad overhaul of taxes, noting an income tax swap for schools will fail without reform. Key figures Bert Docter and Tim Bramlet emphasize ongoing work and sharing findings with lawmakers and county officials. The report highlights Illinois reliance on property taxes, two tier Chicago Cook County structure, and the need to address barriers to a fair tax swap.
