Shake down the Hoosiers?
Via One Man's Thoughts,
Essential products and services - Given the historic policy of maintaining access to food and pharmaceuticals, the retail sale of food and pharmaceuticals to Illinois residents [Baar's emphasis] will not be subject to gross receipts tax. In addition, state Medicaid payments to practitioners will also be exempt from the gross receipts tax, providing an incentive for doctors and dentists to enroll Medicaid-eligible patients.So grandma visits from Florida and we take her to Lalo's and she pays GRT and I don't? We have to show our drivers licenses as proof? What about illegals? Or Hoosiers?

It sounds like it would be a lot easier to trash the Governor's screwy plan and force a sounder, less regressive and less confusing revenue plan on him (such as a slight increase in the state income tax, coupled with an increase in the standard personal exemption and property tax relief).
The "slightest" income tax hike I've seen proposed is plus 67%.
That would be from 3 to 5 percent.
I remember when Edgar used the same rhetoric against Netsch and then got elected and proposed the same thing. Good spin Cal.
Which, at 5%, Cal, would still leave us near the bottom of the country.
