(FROM THE ARTICLE: But Republican David McSweeny from the Cary area cried out against raising the income tax, saying “We’ve all heard from our constituents on how they’re going to pay their high property taxes. They’re wondering how they’re going to pay their living expenses because we’re raising their income taxes by 32%. And what do we get? Nothing! We get nothing but more taxes and more of the status quo.”)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Rauners and anti-Trumps say “A brutal lesson is being learned by citizens of Illinois and the entire country: There’s great risk in giving responsibility for leading a state or nation to someone who’s never held public office.” What government experience do you have? I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173. While I worked for GAO, I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators for almost 9 years, on audits of IRS for 3 years, and on audits of many other federal agencies for almost 6 years.)
