Tax indexing plan clears Senate committee in Illinois
The 1981 measure by Sen. Donald Totten, a Hoffman Estates Republican, cleared the Senate Revenue Committee on a 7-1 vote. The plan would raise the standard exemption by inflation each year, using the Consumer Price Index, trimming income tax for filers but potentially reducing state revenues by up to $40 million in the coming year and $80 million the next. Dawn Clark Netsch opposed the bill.
