Illinois tax amnesty draws oddball responses nationwide
Illinois tax amnesty drew a range of unusual reactions from callers and residents. A Canada caller sought amnesty for draft evasion while another claimed mental illness to justify leaving Chicago for Kansas City. Others offered peanuts as payment or paid in $100 bills, with a mink clad woman settling debts. Revenue officials say thousands of applications poured in as they sort through the final totals, expected to exceed 42.7 million dollars. The program promised no prosecutions or penalties and cut interest by half for those paying back taxes.
