Illinois Legislature Deadlock Ends Inheritance Tax Boost
Springfield June 4 The legislature adjourned sine die after a dramatic session. The waterway bill died in the senate 28 to 18, with Gov. Dencon pushing for a October special session to address waterway issues and admin measures. The house passed the conference report 105 to 4. The session revived Gardner's inheritance tax bill expected to yield about 1.5 million in the next year from estate taxes, plus 800k to 1 million from a new corporation tax, boosting next year’s revenue by around 2.5 million and ongoing by 1 to 1.5 million. University funding was approved, with Illinois and Minois appropriations detailed, though Watertown Hospital faced cuts.
