President and CEO of the Illinois State Black Chamber of Commerce (ILBCC) Larry Ivory, speaks out on the graduated income tax plan.
“As the head of the ILBCC, it is my duty to do what is right for our members and for the communities we represent. We take no joy in not being in sync with the governor, but opposing this amendment is the right thing to do. Adding a tax hike that is going to hurt communities that are already hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic defies our best interests.”
