Quinn Asks for a 33% Income Tax Hike

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Gov. Quinn called today for a one percentage point increase in the state income tax to fund education.

Quinn is asking legislators to raise the income tax to 4 percent from the current 3 percent.


“That 1 percent will be enough to restore our education budget to current levels,” Quinn said in his budget address in Springfield.
