Issue Position: Governor Pritzker's "Fair Tax" Proposal

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Taxes

The decision as to whether to move from a flat income tax to a graduated income tax will now be up to the citizens of Illinois, who will decide the question via referendum at the November, 2020 general election. In order for the graduated tax to go into effect, 60% of voters must vote in favor.

Before asking the voters to weigh in on that question, however, it was important to ensure that Illinois residents have access to the information necessary to make an informed decision as to how this change would impact their families. The Governor's proposal includes specific rates so that voters can decide based on the entirety of their tax burden and funding priorities.
