Illinois would see the largest tax increase in its history under Gov. Rod Blagojevich's plan to provide health care for the uninsured and ramp up state support for education.
Blagojevich also called Wednesday for leasing the state lottery to a private contractor and borrowing billions of dollars in a bid to solve the state's most pressing financial problem -- pension systems soaking up more and more of Illinois' tax money.
So instead of spending reforms, cuts in non productive programs, economic incentives that might boost tax revenues, Blago is going to increase taxes, drive the state further into debt and murder the economic engines of industry by sticking them with higher costs.
We predict Illinois will be bleeding jobs by the time the next election rolls around and everything will still be screwed up. More coverage at Channel 7 of where the massive tax increases will go - it's Hillary-care on steroids!
