SPRINGFIELD – Former Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn is ready to build on an election victory.
No, Quinn was not on the ballot, but he championed an advisory referendum for an extra three percent income tax after your first $1 million.
“It was a very specific clear question,” Quinn told a statehouse news conference. “It calls for a three percent surcharge on the income of millionaires in Illinois. There are 77,323 individuals who declare more than $1 million in annual net income.”
The state would direct that cash to property tax relief. Quinn says he hopes lawmakers take the referendum’s results seriously.
