A tax and fiscal policy task force director says Illinois residents ought to be concerned about the state’s low rankings in a new report.
The American Legislative Exchange Council’s Rich States Poor States report ranks Illinois 45th for economic outlook and 49th for economic performance.
Joshua Meyer, Director of the Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force at the American Legislative Exchange Council, said Illinois is missing out on growth that is happening in other states.
The Center Square asked Meyer about Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s statements touting the state’s growth.
Meyer said Illinois has been stuck in the bottom ten for 19 years with little sign of moving up.
