Illinois House backs 2 percent corporate income tax proposal
Springfield Illinois AP says the House Revenue Committee approved a 2 percent corporate income tax replacing the franchise tax. Rep James Moran estimates this would raise about 120 million dollars over two years while current tax yields roughly 14 million per biennium. The measure faces administration opposition and likely floor defeat. The committee also backed a bill allowing FEPC to initiate employer complaints, a move Chicago’s Russell Bartley warned could become a tool against employers. It also praised Charles Gray as FEPC chairman despite Senate rejection.
