Rep. Sosnowski: No End to Taxes in Sight with Democrats in Charge

Congrats to the governor and the majority party, I guess. 57 new taxes and fees introduced since the governor first took office, totaling tens of billions of dollars in new taxes on Illinois residents. And what do we do today? We're going to add a digital tax, a crypto tax, social media platform tax, fantasy sports tax, more business taxes. Let's get that number up to 100 as soon as we possibly can. There's just no end to taxes in sight with you guys in charge. Excessive spending, hundreds of millions of dollars in pork projects, no accountability, constant tax increases, and guess what? Taxpayers, no relief for property taxes whatsoever. We're number one in the state in Illinois and you won't do a thing to address property taxes. Instead, you find ways to spend more money. And the other thing the Illinois residents get, as was mentioned, you're going to get a couple bucks off when you go and buy school supplies this fall. Wow, that's great. Thanks a lot, guys. And oh yeah, we're not going to raise the gas tax in July. We're just going to wait a couple more months so we can raise it at the end of the year after election time. Lot of courage coming out of that side of the aisle on the governor. So congratulations again on driving up the cost for Illinois residents, spending more taxes, raising more tax dollars. I would urge a no vote. We need fiscal sanity. I would also ask for a verification if this bill were to pass.
