Illinois Republicans seek cuts to unemployment insurance taxes
House Republicans urge eliminating the 1987 trust fund building UI tax as the fund nears two billion dollars, arguing a tax cut would save employers about 150 million annually and still allow protection against downturns. Democrats warn a surplus may be needed if labor benefits fall short in a weak economy.
