I hope Governor Doyle, legislative Democrats do not find out about this
The governor of Illinois is preparing to propose an incredible tax increase this week. The Chicago Tribune reports, “The Tribune has reported that sources familiar with the governor's budget speech on Wednesday say (Governor Pat) Quinn is considering raising the state's personal income tax rate, to 4.5 percent from 3 percent.”
That is a 50 percent increase. Yikes!

State Budget Watch: Your cell phone
Here is yet another example of Governor Doyle’s penchant for raiding funds.
The governor is calling for $25 million in rebates designed for consumers to instead be transferred to local governments. It is another in a pattern of moves by the governor to raid funds to use for another purpose. There is a larger principle at play. This is your money and the governor wants to take it away.
The Associated Press has complete details on the history of the rebate and the governor’s provision in his proposed 2009-11 state budget here.

UPDATE: Harley-Davidson rides out the tough times
Last week, I blogged about a New York Times article that said Harley-Davidson was having troubles because its baby boomer clientele was getting too old.

Tax Freedom Day is April 13
Tax Freedom Day is the day Americans will have earned enough money to pay this year’s tax obligations at the federal, state and local levels.
Tax Freedom Day in Wisconsin will also fall on April 13, 2009. That compares to last year’s Tax Freedom day of April 21, 2008.
