CHICAGO—”If all Republican members of the Illinois General Assembly oppose the state income tax hike, the Democratic-sponsored income tax increase bills will not be approved,” said Jim Tobin, President of National Taxpayers United of Illinois (NTUI).
“It’s absolutely crucial that all Republican legislators stand firm and vote No,” said Tobin. “If they do, the Democrats will not call for a vote on any state income tax increase bills, because if the Democratic Party alone raises the state income tax, they would be committing political suicide.”
