Illinois Can't Wait! It's time to prevent our annual deficits from becoming worse by passing progressive revenue options like closing corporate tax loopholes. Call your legislators today and tell them to pass the RBC revenue options. bit.ly/RBCLobbyDay #RespBudgetIL
As a coalition of the state’s leading advocacy, human service, community and labor organizations, we judge any budget by these principles: It must contain adequate revenue, fairly raised, and it must avoid cuts to vital programs and services. #twill
We support Governor Pritzker’s call to close corporate tax loopholes and decouple Illinois from unwise federal tax provisions. We also urge the state’s Congressional delegation to join together for significant federal COVID relief that has been blocked for far too long. #twill

Illinois needs a #FairTaxNow!
Fixing our unfair system has never been easier. We vote yes for Fair Tax reform, and everyone making less than $250,000 per year gets a tax cut. #FairTaxNow
RespBudget Coalition retweeted
Moving to the Fair Tax "makes even more sense now than it did before the current economic crunch. Voters shouldn’t miss this opportunity to start moving Illinois in the right direction." #FairTaxNow

The Responsible Budget Coalition issued the following statement in response to Governor JB Pritzker’s April 15 announcement of revised Illinois revenue projections for Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021.

Reminder: Illinois has a broken tax system that asks working families to pay a higher share of their income than the rich. Our state needs a long-term solution to its fiscal woes. It’s time to change that with a #FairTaxNow!
A Fair Tax is equitable, responsive, and will allow Illinois to invest in core services like education, health care, human services and public safety. That's why @LWVIL, Vote Yes for Fair Tax coalition member, is supporting a #FairTaxNow.
