Sounds like a tasty good idea but when you dig into the details it sours in your mouth and you realize you will be paying more in taxes. Vote NO, I agree!
IL is a joke. We should be voting on legalizing Marijuana today like other states are. It would win easily if it was on the ballot and would be a mega economic boost!
I voted yes. I really believe this amendment is a better way for Illinois legislature to get more discipline from the citizens. I can not even fathom why there ever was money from fuel taxes and etc. that was being diverted to other spending areas. What a sham for that so many years. For Illinois we need constitutional lock boxes on everything in the budget perhaps. I don’t think this will cause a rise in taxes anymore than it would otherwise. We need a decent General Assembly that listens and restricts themselves to what the citizens voted them into office for. If we have representatives who vote tax increases down no matter what we will have a better state. This ‘Lock Box’ will be better for all of us. Better roads, better bridges, etc. I voted YES.
I have to agree, Diane, as in the Lottery boondoggle, Schools ended up being the losers and the politicians stole the horse again. Until we drain our own swamp we will be slaves to the whim of a few do nothings.

Expect tax increases! You are dreaming if you think Madigan is going to become fiscally responsible.
