Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is proposing a 40-billion dollar budget. Pritzker revealed his second budget plan in office yesterday, which hinged on the approval by voters of a graduated income tax. Democrats say Illinois would generate an additional one-point-four billion dollars for education and pensions if the graduated income tax is approved.
