A Southern Illinois lawmaker says the Governor Pritzker’s proposed budget presented on Wednesday will hurt small businesses in Illinois.
On Wednesday Governor JB Pritzker outlined his $41.6 billion-dollar budget.
State Representative Patrick Windhorst of Metropolis says the corporate tax changes in the budget will add an extra burden to already struggling businesses.
“Economic growth is key to reversing our states declining population and solving our long-term fiscal challenges, the governors proposed budget eliminates economic reforms and business incentives that spur economic growth, the proposed budget relies on $900 million dollars tax increases on small businesses at a time when they can least afford it.”
Windhorst says the Governor should work with the General Assembly to create a truly balanced budget and not rely on federal money that might not come.
