People and corps are fleeing Illinois at a higher rate than any other state because of taxes. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

The additional money would be used to help fund a $37.3 billion spending plan for the upcoming year that includes a $330 million increase in funding for primary and secondary education. Most state agencies would see a 5 percent cut in spending, while universities would face a 10 percent cut.

The budget would also set aside money to backfill budgets for universities and social services that have gone without funding since January. The plan does not include a way to pay down the state's $14 billion backlog of bills, though it would create a $200 million rainy day fund that could be used for that purpose.

$200 million is 1.4% of $14 billion.   

I hope Illinois taxes the shit out of people.   They get what they have asked for.
