- The Illinois House of Representatives on Monday voted to put a proposal that would change the state’s personal income tax system on a ballot to take place alongside the 2020 U.S. national election vote.
The proposal is a central component in Democratic Governor J.B.

Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin said the proposal was an attempt at “robbing the pockets” of families.
