So Much for THAT Promise
Wasn't Fata$$ just bragging about holding the line on raising taxes a couple weeks ago?
- Lawmakers' projections for revenues in the coming year aren't as high as Gov. JB Pritzker's, raising questions about how much money will be available during this year's budget negotiations. The General Assembly's bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability released a new fiscal year 2026 revenue projection Tuesday that is $737 million short of the proposal Pritzker introduced last month.
Oops.
As we've said here for years, "estimated" government tax revenues are always based on bullshit. Something always pops up - a cost overrun or a supply shortage. This time around it's probably a combination of businesses leaving Illinois and the administration change in Washington DC.
But don't worry, there are still a couple middle class taxpayers left in the state that Fata$$ can squeeze.

It’s Trump’s fault!
Maybe, we feel around in his Kitty for more loose coins to shake off forthcoming taxes, the same way he bought his governorship. Wait! Dindn't those loose pieces go to resove his toilet tax issue? Should just flush his arse out with one clean woosh. Buh-bye Jellyroll!
Lots of upper incomes are fleeing, based on the total big ticket priced skybox homes for sale along and near streeterville’s best on mag mile and Gold Coast’s LSD. Some of the top buildings almost look like fire sale. People have had enough with taxes and crazies. Maybe conehead’s cherished illegals will pay for the tax increase? Naw they’re takers.
Democrat math with pixie dust fairies dancing around our governor's head.
Tax into Oblivion is the Democrat Mantra.

Everyone acknowledged that the state was looking at a $3 billion dollar deficit, then a week before his state of the state address Pritizker boldly announces a surplus? And not one member of the media asked for an explanation of how that magically happened?
At least we get to keep the state flag as is. Won’t cost a penny to make a new one from those ridiculous designs .
No weed revenue as promised ? What gives Pugsly?
Start taxing All-You-Can-Eat Buffets! Prickster alone would be funding the shortfall!
Watch to raise revenue Fat Ass Will tax our pensions at 1.5 percent for the good of the people then raise it too three percent, to take away the Cola.
Squeeze them til they bleed. Keep my pension funded and forward the payments to me, way out of state.
They would have to open the state constitution to do that. I’m not saying they would, but that’s what would have to happen.
Michigan is what. Safe, less tax, and abundant. Hell, half of Illinois runs there every weekend anyway.
What’s the gasoline tax in Illinois?
