No Wonder Illinois Is In Big Financial Trouble

The tweet below was sent by Illinois State Representative Emanuel Chris Welch. It plainly shows how stupid the Illinois finance people are.

“‘ILLINOIS MATH’ IN ONE TWEET”

The Illinois General Assembly is incompetent with numbers and finances.

The Statehouse is packed with lawmakers who either don’t understand the state’s financial problems or are unwilling to admit the insurmountable debts they’ve racked up.

This truth came to light yet again after state lawmakers voted to pass a 32 percent income tax hike on taxpayers. Numerous lawmakers defended their position, including state Rep. Emanuel Chris Welch, D-Hillside. Welch took to Twitter July 3 to proclaim that raising the income tax to 4.95 percent from 3.75 percent was merely a 1.2 percent increase, not a 32 percent increase as Gov. Bruce Rauner said.”
