Finances of Illinois: three administrations reviewed
An 1909 overview notes Illinois state finances in strong shape with a July 1 cash balance of about 5.18 million, plus uncollected taxes. It attributes gains to higher receipts and inheritance taxes while detailing auditor investigations that recovered 916,324.14 and lawsuits for 321,000. The piece criticizes Governor Yates’ comparisons and highlights large special appropriations and tax-rate implications.
