I saw “Chicago Tonight” the other night in which McHurricane from the Chicago Trib editorial board was on the panel. She said something like Rauner is so unpopular and is losing the PR war that he will accept a budget with only property tax, workers comp and pension reform.
Here is an article that cites a study that shows millionaires don’t flee states due to higher taxes. According to the study, millionaires migrate on average less than the entire population.
Gov Rauner- those school children have parents who can’t afford child care, or pay for special school expenses for their special needs children, parents who have elderly parents who aren’t getting their Meals on Wheels lunches, or their home health care services. Those school children may have addicted or mentally ill parents, parents who are battling illnesses that could benefit from medical marijuana. School children don’t live in a vacuum, but you seem to.

Hard to believe, but we’ll see, won’t we?

Grandson, putting stock in anything the Trib Editorial Board says is a dangerous proposition.

This is very relevant to the political struggle to change our tax structure in Illinois, so that the highest earners pay more.
