State legislature may consider whether to move to a graduated income tax rate, meaning those who earn more would pay more.
Did the tax man take a big bite out of your wallet this month? With tax season almost behind us, let's take a look at an issue before the state legislature — should Illinois switch from a flat income tax rate to a graduated rate? The last year Illinoisans escaped paying income tax to the state was 1969. Just seven states still collect no income tax. Thirty-four states use the graduated income tax system, while eight others join Illinois in imposing one rate on all. Our friends at Reboot Illinois put together a graphic look at various aspects of the flat tax vs. graduated tax debate, excerpted here on Patch. Check out the full graphic at RebootIllinois.com.

This letter is in response to a previous letter to the editor, Randy Hultgren has No Credibility. I have never agreed with President Obama and I have limited respect for the president. I strongly disagree with his fiscal policies as it relates to government spending and tax policy and President Obama has no credibility or any experience when it comes to deficit reduction or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

One of the major cancers that plague our political system is that fact that elected officials are expected to bring home the …

O'Hare ranked last in a group of the nation's busiest airports at on-time arrivals and departures in February, but do you still prefer it over Midway?
We’ve all been there. You’re planning a trip. You’re thinking of booking your flight, but where do you want to fly out of—O’Hare or Midway? If February’s stats for on-time arrivals and departures are any guide, O’Hare should probably be your Plan B. According to a report from the Chicago Tribune, O’Hare ranked dead last among the country's busiest airports for punctuality in February. A mere 63 percent of flights left O’Hare on time, and only 66 percent arrived on time, the Trib reported. Comparatively, Midway runs like a Swiss watch. About 83 percent arrived on time and 73 percent departed as scheduled for the month, according to the report. Read the full Tribune report here.
