I'm on a fixed income and unable to work because of numerous health issues. All the taxes from Chicago, Cook County and Illinois are making it extremely difficult to live on a limited budget. I have a son who lives in Macomb, Illinois and a daughter who lives in Port St. Lucie, Florida and I may have to move in with one of them. I've lived in Chicago all my life but it may be time to leave the city, county and maybe the state. I really have no choice at this point. It's very frustrating.

They don't care, I've tried and all I got were canned responses/excuses. All of them that voted Yes are all useless.

How Illinois House voted on Rauner tax hike override - Chicago Tribune

Best thing you can do is save this information and vote against anyone who voted yes come the next election. Assuming any of us are still living here come next election.

I have said for many years that madigan is the biggest problem in the state. Doesn't matter who the governor is or if the governor has a (D) or (R) behind his name.

How does madigan keep getting re-elected???
