“I think it’s the right time to do it because we are in desperate need of paying our bills,” Cullerton told reporters. “We’d have all our bills (paid) – all those people owed money -- $8 billion will go back into the economy.

even with the 75% increase, the illinois income tax rate is only about half the california rate ... iirc you guys pay pretty close to 10%
