IROQUOIS COUNTY–A new report by Taxpayers United of America (TUA) reveals that many government school employees and retirees of Iroquois County, Illinois receive lavish, gold-plated salaries and pensions that far exceed average annual wages of workers in the private sector.
“These outrageous government-employee pensions are bankrupting the state,” said Jim Tobin, TUA President. “Springfield House and Senate Democrats just temporarily raised the state personal income tax 67%, all $6.4 billion taxpayer dollars of which is being used to fund the state’s lavish retired government employee pension programs.” Read more →

CHICAGO — Taxpayers United of America (TUA), one of America’s largest taxpayer organizations, has released its 14th biennial Tax Survey of the Illinois General Assembly. The Tax Survey exposes the tax and spending records of every member of the 96th General Assembly from January 2009 to January 2011
“Together, we have defeated every proposed state income tax increase for the past 17 years, until now,” said Jim Tobin, President of TUA. “In their desperation to keep the lavish, government pension system afloat, Springfield Democrats have been very busy raising taxes. While the rest of the country benefits from the federal tax cuts, Illinois lawmakers seized the opportunity to steal $6.4 billion to fund their own lavish, gold-plated pensions.” Read more →
On August 24, 2011 the Circuit Court of Cook County, by Judge LeRoy K. Martin, Jr., granted Anthony Peraica, former Cook County Commissioner and a concerned taxpayer in Riverside-Brookfield and Taxpayers United of America, (“TUA”) one of the largest taxpayer organizations in America, left to file an amended complaint in their case against the Riverside-Brookfield School District 208. The suit challenges the electioneering activities used by the school board in its unsuccessful attempt to have the voters approved a property tax increase referendum on April 5th. The amended complaint is due to be filed in two weeks.
In addition, the Appellate Court of Illinois, First Judicial Circuit, granted Noel Kuriakos and TUA’s motion to consolidate their appeal in the Oak Park District 97 referendum case with the appeal pending in the Wilmette School District 39 case, brought by TUA and Herbert Sorock. The Appellate Court’s Order was entered on August 18, 2011. Just days before, that same Appellate Court denied an effort by TUA and Sorock to accelerate the hearing of that appeal. Both appeals will now be heard together and on the regular schedule of the Court of Appeals, rather than on an expedited basis. Read more →
