Governor seeks 130.7 million tax relief amid economy surge
Gov. Daniel Walker urged the General Assembly to enact an additional 12.7 million in income tax relief and 130.7 million in total tax relief for the new fiscal year. He cited a booming Illinois economy to justify extending relief, including a proposed $50 cut for a typical five person family. The plan favors lower income families and rejects direct sales tax cuts on food and medicine. Walker also pressed for tougher consumer protection, environmental laws, higher education and election boards, ethics reforms, and a six county regional transit district. He defended timing as lawmakers debated relief amid a tight session.
