Support grows for increased income tax in Illinois
Democratic leaders signal willingness to back a higher state income tax to fix budget problems but want Gov. Thompson to lead. Senate President Rock calls it sensible yet notes the governor must initiate. House leader Madigan would consider it if Thompson supports and revenue shares are fair. A proposed plan would raise personal tax from 2% to 4% and corporate from 4% to 7.2% to yield about 700 million. Adlai Stevenson opposes a tax hike, but cites liquor tax as another option.
