Taxes are going up on cell phones, tobacco and vaping products, sports betting, bed and breakfasts and more with the new state budget Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed Monday in Chicago.
The $55.2 billion spending plan is the largest spending plan in Illinois history. The plan relies on tax increases and revenue collections, including changes to corporate taxes. Before signing the package, Governor Pritzker claimed they balanced the budget despite pressure from the White House.
Meeting with the leader of the G7 on Monday, President Donald Trump was asked about immigration enforcement and paused to criticize Governor Pritzker.
Illinois’ budget, and the various tax changes, begins July 1st.
