Assembly OKs tax-break delay in Illinois budget clash
The Illinois General Assembly sent bills to Governor James R. Thompson to roll back business equipment tax relief and delay the phaseout of the sales tax on farm implements over $1,000. The move, backed by Thompson, targets a $200 million savings to the state treasury, with opposition from Southern Illinois lawmakers.
