What in the world do they waste all this money on? In Illinois you have to pay to drive just about anywhere. The property taxes are high and pay for the schools and local infrastructure. I can't begin to imagine what they waste all the state income tax on. They collect high sales taxes and gasoline taxes. They even tax food. I mean if there is a tax it is collected in that state. And they still need a 32% increase to just make the budget work. Sounds like they need to reconsider what elements are critical and cut everything else. I would leave at that level of taxation.
