Walker’s tax plan defeated in Illinois House

Gov Daniel Walker backed measures to cap a 9.9 billion budget and raise 95 million by accelerating withholding and sales tax flows. The House rejected the tax withholding bill 43 to 72 and the sales tax acceleration 33 to 85. Democrats and several lawmakers opposed the plan citing business impact and political maneuvering.
