Fair Tax Calculator – Progressive Tax Facts

By

Another one of Governor Pritzker campaign promises was to finally implement a progressive income tax in Illinois. There will certainly be a lot of misinformation spread about this plan that tried to scare Illinois residents by falsely saying their taxes will go up.

With a fair tax, 97% of taxpayers will see some tax relief. Working families will finally get a fair system.

Use the calculator on Illinois.gov to see how the Fair Tax would impact your family.

March with the Elgin Township Democrats

By

Elgin Township Democrats July 4 Parade

Join the Elgin Township Democrats and show your support by marching in Elgin’s Fourth of July parade.

Democrat walkers can meet up at John Dalton/Rich Jacobs front lawn at 891 Douglas, Elgin, IL. Their home is at the corner Douglas and Slate. The parade kicks off at 9am and our float usually swings by their house around 10am. Chat with your local democratic representatives and then join them as they jump in as our second float goes by Rich and John’s house. 

We need volunteers to carry our banner, hand out our mini Frisbees, and show Elgin our support for the Democrats and our representatives.

RSVP on Facebook

Feeling creative??? We’re also looking for volunteers to help decorate the floats, July 3rd at Carl Stratmann’s at 210 Wing Park Blvd, 5 PM. Contact Carl for more information.
