(CHICAGO)  Governor Bruce Rauner’s campaign is responding to challenger JB Pritzker’s tax proposals.

The Rauner camp is concentrating on Pritzer’s pledge to “get rid of” the new tuition tax credits.

It says, “It’s shameful for Pritzker to say he would immediately end the scholarship program when so many low-income students will soon be benefitting from a better education”

As for Pritzker’s proposal to move to a graduated income tax, Rauner said this last week, “The people of Illinois are taxed out. We should not be discussing any new taxes at all until we change our system and really drive more value for taxpayers. We should be reducing the tax burden not increasing it and growing our economy to produce new revenue not increasing tax rates.”

Rauner claims he will be able to lower the state income tax. bc ​
