@QuispNQuake Yes, but all of those go up .5% tomorrow.
There is also no mention of the HRE tax. That is an ADDITIONAL tax of 2% (I think).

The sales tax here in Indiana is 7%. That's it. Every county. There's no county tax, nothing. And our property taxes are half what they were in Peoria.I really do hope Illinois as a state can figure out a budget.

I shop in Peoria County for 2 things....Alwan's meat and Avanti's

@QuispNQuake Indiana's state withholding percentage is higher at 3.23% and each county has a local income tax.

@leslie110 There's no county sales tax. Should have clarified. Either way, we're shelling out a lot less moola than we had to in Illinois. Way less. No city sales tax either.Isn't Illinois' 3.75?

@QuispNQuake Yes, that is the correct income tax rate for Illinois.

Our county withholding tax raises it to 3.24. I hope Illinois can come up with a solution so businesses can stay.

It takes people to make this stop. Today many just don't care. I don't see any lines getting smaller because ones have to pay 3 or 4 cents more.

@bwiser I think East Peoria uses the tax dollars better than what Peoria does. Much cleaner place to live.

@QuispNQuake Illinois is 3%.

@leslie110 Here's the first page of Illinois' withholding tax booklet. You can download it by googling it.

The current proposal increases the personal income tax rate to 4.95% from the current 3.75%. The corporate income tax rate rises to 7% from the current 5.25% rate.They are looking at voting this on Sun. the 2nd the sneaky little SOB's while everyone is drunk they will bend them over and shove it home.

In Chicago there is also a 28% phone tax increase which includes landline and cell phones.
