Blagojevich eyes tax on services to fix state budget
Governor Blagojevich floated a tax on services to fill a nearly 5 billion budget hole by July 2004. He ruled out taxes on haircuts, auto repair and dry cleaning but left open a broader service tax that could affect landscaping, construction, accounting and more. Labor charges on goods like planting trees may become taxable, raising concerns from architects and engineers about competitiveness with other states.

Bartolotti Eyes City Finances Amid Bleak State Outlook
Mayor Gary Bartolotti warns the city faces a tight year with flat or shrinking revenue while the state budget crisis looms. He pledges ultra conservative budgeting, aims to keep staff, and may curtail some projects as Springfield projects a multibillion dollar deficit. He cites drainage and infrastructure needs as the city plans investments within limited funds.
