, facing a costly reelection campaign, plans to tackle another foe — inflation approaching 7% — in a state budget proposal that would lift or freeze taxes on groceries and gasoline and give homeowners a one-year rebate of up to $300, an aide told The Associated Press.
Pritzker is facing what is expected to be an extremely expensive campaign for a second term. His budget announcement comes just a week after Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin expanded the field of would-be Republican challengers to five. Irvin heads a GOP slate which is expected to have up to $300 million in backing from hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin.
— Freeze the motor fuel tax on gasoline for a year at 39.2 cents per gallon. To fund Pritzker’s $45 billion statewide construction plan in 2019, the tax was doubled to 38 cents and indexed to inflation annually. Without a freeze, it would increase 6.9% to 41.4 cents July 1, Manar said.
It's too late, many are struggling and this little relief is an attempt to soften the blowback from the parents tax credits being lessened from getting it early. The irs don't mess around when it comes to money and was never known to be generous 💯
Oh my God...... Democratics want to give away more money.... Shocker..... Don't solve the problems and stop the insanity....... Just give away money.... It's fun.... It's fun to give away money our tax payers money.... To tax payers to help them..... You see the circular insanity
The only thing that needs relief is his belt
He ran for office promising Property Tax Reform and he has done absolutely nothing regarding that promise. And I don't want to hear anyone say how he was too busy with Covid to do it since he seems to have had plenty of time to pass other ridiculous reforms.
I'll believe when I see a reduction in my property taxes. Either way he's not getting my vote.
Will not help you to save a power
