This article discusses Governor Quinn’s recent indication that he would consider increasing the share of State income taxes distributed to local governments if the 2011 income tax rates were made permanent. The Civic Federation recommended restoring the full 10% share of income tax revenues to local governments in its FY2015 State of Illinois Budget Roadmap.
