The budget passed in the Illinois Senate along party lines on Tuesday will have a negative impact for years to come—that’s according to State Senator Kyle McCarter. State Senator Kyle McCarter says the Democrat sponsored budget, which McCarter says continues to overspend and overtax, perpetuates the poor policies and practices that contributed to Illinois’ current fiscal crisis.
McCarter says if recent history is any indication, expect more people to flee Illinois. McCarter says after an income tax hike in 2011, approximately 200 thousand people left Illinois for other states.
