Today, Think Big Illinois released new ads in several districts urging state legislators to support Governor Pritzker’s fair tax. The ads push back on false attacks from opponents who currently benefit from our current unfair tax system and want to avoid finally having to pay their share.
The ads also highlight why a fair tax is right for Illinois, including that 97% of Illinoisans will not see a state income tax increase, with only those making above $250,000 paying more. A fair tax will also solve the $3.2 billion budget crisis Illinois is currently facing, which otherwise would have to be addressed by raising income taxes on everyone by 20% or by drastically gutting critical social service programs.
The ads urge Representatives Monica Bristow, Jonathan Carroll, Terra Costa Howard, and Mary Edly-Allen. Think Big Illinois’ previous ad, Hole, will continue to air across the state.
