All of the states are in trouble. IL is borrowing as much as we dare from the Federal Reserve, and we’re going to have to cut back services, too. The right wing didn’t try to beat Biden, but they fought like the devil to defeat the state constitution amendment to go for a progressive income tax. We are one of the few state that have a flat tax, which means the legislature can’t raise it. Think of all the poor and middle income people who voted against that because they were told “THEY will raise your taxes if you approve this! We were also counting on getting some kind of support for the state from the federal government. Lost on both counts, thanks, and we were in a deep hole after Rauner’s term.
