Illinois Senate nears floor vote on 2 billion tax relief bill
The Illinois Senate Revenue Committee approved an 8-3 vote to send a $2 billion sales tax relief plan to the floor, despite Governor Thompson opposing it as too costly. The package would phase out the 5 percent sales tax on food and drugs by Sept 1 1983 and include local tax relief and income tax adjustments, with supporters arguing future brakes could curb costs.
