Is graduated transfer tax a good idea?

Yes. This is an issue of local control. It is not the responsibility of the General Assembly to take position on whether a graduated transfer tax is a good idea or not. However it is undeniable that Chicago is faced with financial challenges that are even worse than those faced by the state. The required pension payments are growing rapidly and Chicago must find a way to balance their budget. The legislature should give the city council the authority to implement tax policies that work for them and allow them to decide if a graduated transfer tax is in the best interest of Chicago.

The Fair Maps initiative which gathered over 800,000 signatures, twice, in Illinois only to be struck down by the Illinois Supreme Court was a tragic injustice. As the minority opinion alluded to, it isn’t right for the people to be denied an amendment to their own Constitution. The people have a right to choose their representatives, not the other way around. Fair Maps should be implemented either legislatively or through an amendment that voters decide. I have also signed and support the hopefully bulletproof current Fair Maps ballot initiative started by Peter Breen.

In October 2019, the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability proposed reamortizing pension debt to save $45 billion in service payments through FY2045, while still getting the pension systems 72 percent funded. To work, it would require greater contributions on the front end. Recognizing the state’s poor fiscal condition, as well as to avoid cuts to current services or raising taxes, this strategy calls for issuing a series of annual pension obligation bonds. With a funding target of 72 percent in FY2045, these bonds would total $9.8 billion over nine years.

What is a legislative representative?
