The Senator Says By State Senator •l' Robert McClory ' Promises to oppose thev Gov- ' emor's proposed increases of '"•' flie sales tax and corporation ; franchise tax add up to much '•'•idle chatter unless the mem- "bers of the Illinois General " Assembly eliminate the need •••for these added taxes. J ' In the case of the sales tax " the Governor's proposal would ' result in a sales tax of 4% , per^c€nt X- the highest sales v tax rate in the nation. With respect to ' the "coiporation^Sn^ thise tax, the new j'ate 'proposed by the Kerner administration is six times the present rate. Republicans and many Democrats have expressed themselves in opposition to these two healthy "tax bites. As senator from the 52nd Senatorial district comprised of Lake, McHenry and Boone counties, all of which border Wisconsin (which has no sales tax), the decision to oppose thesales tax increase is self-evident. Other senators and representatives whose districts adjoin Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana have joined together to fight the sales tax boost. Rep. Ralph Stephenson, who hails from Rock Island, Which" is just across the Mississippi river from Iowa (with b 2 per cent sales tax rate), has organized these members into the "Border Brigade". Your state senator jyas recently inducted into the ranks of this militant group. The Kemer budget is more than $629 million higher than the last Republican budget. Of this, $345 million is the public building bond issue approved last November. The additional $284 million has to come from a new or added taxes. In order to avoid the sales tax boost it Wll "be necessary to cut the budget by Approximately $100 million. That, in effect,^ is the challenge confronting the Republican majority in thelllinois Senate and the Bipartisan Border Brigade. . - ,, . ? During the coming week's, appropriation bills will ^ scrutinized carefully. New jobs and additional expenses of every kind will be pared. Amendments to reduce departmental expenses will.be offered for approval. The need for technical assistance from taxpayer groups is of utmost importance. Citizen support w a s - never more urgently needed. . tfe-The Republican record for victory in 1962 can be written in Springfield during the next Six weeks. The Illinois Geperal Assembly has the opportunity here and now to demonstrate that it still controls the purse strings and that the purse does not contain unlimited funds.
