Illinois tax claims face data gap in taxes per capita
The piece by Elizabeth Austin argues taxes aren’t high in Illinois but omits local burdens. Data show Illinois residents pay a per capita local tax of 2,369 dollars versus Wisconsin 1,928 and Indiana 1,216. Illinois has about 7,000 taxing bodies, far more than neighbors, and the flat income tax rate of 3.75 percent affects all earners.

Illinois letters policy and tax burden dispute spillover
The piece cites Illinois Department of Revenue data showing that in 2013 the top 0.8 percent paid 21 percent of income taxes and the top 17 percent paid 62 percent, while critic Austin and Innovation Illinois push to obscure taxpayers’ burden and push reform. It notes veterans from Gov. Quinn’s administration and recalls past tax increases during the recession. The Mount Carmel Register outlines letters policy, disclosure requirements, eligibility, and limits for readers and groups, including how political letters are treated and how election eve letters are restricted.
