Take Home Pay
By now, everyone has gotten the most recent check stub. And if you paid attention, you'd notice that your check was a bit lighter than before. That would be the Madigan engineered income tax hike.
Better hope the FOP gets a sizable pay raise to cover it. And if you can, move out of Illinois as fast as you can. Because it isn't even a drop in the bucket - read the entire article, but this portion is near the end:

- The Illinois economy is still in shambles and residents are still stuck with sending a bigger chunk of change to the capitol.
If that’s not sad enough, consider the scale of the spending problem that remains in Springfield. The entirety of the $5 billion in tax increases will be eaten up by this year’s pension payment, and that’s still not enough to address the growing liability.
You read that correctly - the ENTIRE $5 BILLION in tax increases is due into assorted (and mismanaged) pension funds. None of them ours.

Don't worry we will get a raise and then the FOP will be increasing our dues.
O.T. Did 016 catch offenders at/near elston and Latrobe wanted for Agg Assault?
How much is Rahm going to offer in the next contract?
Taxpayers are the Politicians ATM. We are going to be fleeced for more by Madigan, Rauner, Prickwinkle, and Emanuel until we either die, give up, or move.
The FOP and Mayor helped over ride the Governor's veto that would have payed money into our pension.
Nevada here I come!
Fuck Illinois!
Go! Vegas Golden Knights! [new NHL team]
As of yesterday, I do all my shopping in Indiana. Groceries, soda and all sweetened beverages, dry goods, clothes, automotive supplies. You name it and I am buying it in Indiana from now on. My car is 1 year old and it was the last vehicle that I will purchase in Steal-linois.
I was able to google and find tax-wrinkles address and will be sending her all my receipts for sweetened to her apartment on south Greenwood. An elected official who lives in an apartment???? hhhmmmmm
That fat fuck Pritzker states he believes in more taxes. I never thought there was another politician fatter than Chris Christie, but then came Pritzker. Pritzker looks like he eats everything in his path. Pritzker is anti police too, just like his New Jersey twin.
Didn't Governor Edgar have a balanced budget? What happened?
Even the state is eyeballing the County soda tax. They want it on a state level.
I am a former Chicago resident, who 5 year ago, moved my family's small manufacturing business from Chicago to the Indianapolis area. Best move I ever made. My expenses related to property taxes, workman's comp, business insurance, etc. declined about 35%. My company owns several tractor-trailers and the cost to insure and license these vehicles has declined significantly.
I still have family that lives on the north side and coming up to the City 3-4 times a year, I notice how it is going to hell. It hurts me to see what was a great place to grow up as a kid being destroyed by the liberal Democratic politicians.
It is only going to get worse. As responsible people approach retirement age, they want to save more and are fleeing in order not to pay the crazy property taxes. I live in Carmel, IN and at least 1/3 of the residents in my 93 home subdivision are former refugees from Madiganistan. Madigan and his like truely fucked the State of Illinois.
Illinios has over 600 pension funds. New York has 3. Dropping the mic.
My guess is "the distribution of wealth." A tax on the working, for sure.
When the person with the EBT card is buying junk food and such is not affected.
NOT ILLINOIS, NOT LAW.
$1000.00 PER RESIDENT.............Stolen by Million Dollar Mike
The TRIBUNE'S John Kass said it best, our politicians view you as a cow, they feed you just enough to keep you alive in the form of services and freebies, then take the milk you produce in the form of taxes
hey SCC missed a great story from last night at the Downtown L shooting
Right before the 9.30 press conference by Police .. 4 thugs started beating on 1 person right next to presser site ..with police brass there ..LOL
Sanctuary city Chicago resembling 3rd World African banana city.. unsafe even downtown
Over 5 grand in state income taxes !!!!..add Queen Sugar taxwinkle soda tax.. Democrats stealing from Illinois middle class until the middle class departs
Poll from Crains showing Queen Sugar Taxwinkle's Crook County ,IL soda tax has a 78 % disapprove of democrat Queen Sugar
$40 a check $80 a month almost $1,000.00 a year. That's on top of a $900.00 property tax and god only knows what this soda tax will cost. That's a couple of thousand dollars a year. Add the new garbage tax and the cell phone tax. Unbelievable.
Why would you expect the people who caused the problem (democrats) to be able to fix the problem?
Note to all those fleeing Illinois:
Please do not take your bad (democrat) voting habits with you.
We do not want you bringing your failed policies to us.
if'ya wanna live in people's paradise, ya gotta pay the freight for it... it's only free for those with special privilege & u ain't one of the chose peoples... so stop complaining about funding Utopia, it could be way way worse....it will be way way worse for U
Rahm and crew can't justify raises for police, when they spend their days demonizing the police - and continue sanctuary city policies that lose federal monies for current police programs.
You guys are screwed and will now enter the down turn the rest of us started in 2007 when Democrats took over the purse strings nationally.

Nothing new. It's stipulated either in the contract or a side letter to the amount. I remember a few years back when we received a real small raise 50 cents a paycheck was the minimum they could raise the dues. Also remember when we would get two raises in a year one in January and one in July that they tried to raise the dues twice. Believe that was corrected
i will see u in vegas brother!LETS GO KNIGHTS!!
Bloomberg set to spend 2 million $$$ of ads saying it is great for Illinois middle class taxpayers to pay more taxes to Queen Sugar Taxwinkle's Cook County soda tax
Typical democrats.... taxpayers are too stupid to decide what is good for their families and themselves
Soda tax money, way under projections so far ,1st 2 weeks of Soda tax
Sorry tax waste spend democrats , Taxwinkle..... heading out Saturday , to Indiana to do all my shopping ,instead of at Cook County Jewel ,Tonys
Shut it down.
All of it.
Call in the Feds, the repossessors and take financial control away from the Democrats.
Can't even run a friggin lottery scratcher game.
Stumbling bumble Rauner has nothing good to say and started his Pander Wagon Tour
It's been 3 years of waiting for those promised Rauner Reforms and a anvil has yet to fall from the sky on Madigans head.
And listening to the goofy Democrat gov challengers, they're ready to give away more free stuff to the deadbeats with programs and tax increases all the way through 2030.
They're candidates and they're all ready plotting spending with money they or the state doesn't have.
Incredible and gullible proHillary state will eagarly go along with that.

Erika Harold of Urbana on Tuesday announced plans for a Republican bid to challenge four-term Democratic Attorney General Lisa Madigan in 2018.

He pulled out all the toilets from one of his properties so he would pay less taxes! His running mate, (For Lt. Gov.) was the law enforcement adviser for, no more people of color in my jails, Prickwrinkle. You can see where he's coming from...

Complete sentences, please. What were you attempting to convey?
and not one reform law was passed in the Illinois Legislature. So, all of the useless boards and commissions and taxing bodies go on and on and on
