Illinois business climate critique from Belleville speech
Doug Whitley of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce warned in Belleville that while the US economy recovers, Illinois lags due to high taxes and fees on business, rising workers comp costs, and a malpractice crisis. He noted trucking company registrations fell from 16 425 to 13 707 last year amid fee increases and urged lawmakers to act to reduce costs or risk outmigration and lost investment.
