Ladies and Gentlemen, Get Ready for the Main (Income Tax) Event
It's less than one week until the income tax debate Reboot Illinois hosts in conjunction with the Union League Club of Chicago.
What’s going to happen to our income taxes in Illinois? Should we switch to a progressive tax system with different rates that rise as incomes go up? Should we maintain our flat system? Should our rate remain at the “temporary” 5 percent for individuals or should it drop down to 3.75 percent as the law now says it should.
It's safe to say the income tax debate is THE hot topic in Illinois this year.
Reboot Illinois is partnering with the Union League Club of Chicago to host a debate on the issue. It's the morning of Feb. 28 at the Union League Club in Chicago.
