Revenue gains brighten Illinois state outlook in 1962
Illinois revenue officials report a buoyant 1962 tax performance with predicted collections rising to 304 to 310 million for the current biennium, up from 28 million in new taxes. Theodore J. Isaacs notes ten months of 1962 show a 29.25 million rise over 1961, aiding relief program funding amid anticipated legislative cuts. An $18–24 million higher upside reduces immediate fiscal strain while New York audits push enforcement and revenue recovery.
