WATCH: Chicago activist testifies; Quinn’s millionaire surcharge; High SNAP error rate
(The Center Square) – In today’s edition of Illinois in Focus Daily, The Center Square Editor Greg Bishop shares highlights from Wednesday U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary where Chicago Flips Red Vice President Daniel Carter-Walters testified about immigration enforcement in the Windy City.
Bishop also gives both sides of the debate around a proposed 3% surcharge on Illinois millionaires to fund property tax relief rebates. Former Gov. Pat Quinn says if voters approve the idea, more than $4 billion would be raised. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Don Tracy said that will push more high earners out of the state.
Finally, Bishop shares some of the questions and responses around the state’s handling of federal tax subsidies through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Illinois’ high SNAP error rate could end up costing Illinois taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
