Republican state representative candidate Travis Breeden thinks approving a graduated income tax in Illinois would be a disaster. The question is going before the state’s voters in the upcoming election. Supporters are calling it a “fair tax” meant to get more tax money to support state services from the very rich who can afford it.
Breeden says the state needs pension reform. He says it’s not fair for people in the private sector where there are no pension guarantees to have to pay for guaranteed pensions in the public sector while the state spends recklessly.
Breeden is running for the seat that Democrat Lance Yednock has now. Breeden was at WCMY during a campaign visit last week.
