Illinois 3-5% state income tax increase or 66% for 4 yrs because of a supposed 15b defecit coupled with 2% limits on spending growth anything over will cancel tax increase. From what I have been able to gather on this matter illinois has a 55b budget of which about half of comes from the federal gov cauffers, which means the illinois gov needs about 28b to make budget. In a news article it stated illinois had 68b in rev in the 1st 6 months with 6 to go. So 40b from the 1st 6 months and let's just say 50b from the 2nd 6 months that = 90b the illinois gov is not accounting for.

Most of the time, electors cast their votes for the candidate who has received the most votes in that particular state. Some states have laws that require electors to vote for the candidate that won the popular vote, while other electors are bound by pledges to a specific political party. However, there have been times when electors have voted contrary to the people's decision, and there is no federal law or Constitutional provision against it.

These newsletters are being written to unite america not just one part of say the industry I'm in of trucking, but many different walks of life. Just uniting the 1 walk of life or the other will invite terrorism charges against that group of people. But if many walks of life join together those charges don't. apply. We as an industry can be the voice of the people in a strike and also address our industries problems, but if we don't do it with the support of other walks of life we will b charged with terrorism. Because addressing just the problems of our industry we would be treated like the air traffic controllers holding the country hostage. But not if we have the support of many walks of life. My platform is a simple one for a presidential candidate, I will veto every bill that comes to my desk until one is put on my desk that says (let the people vote on the laws they live by and where their taxes go before it is signed into law). Now there is a chance they will not send that legislation immediately therefore I will have to veto it and they may over ride my veto, if they do over ride my veto that means they are not going to let me do what I was elected to do and you must remove them from office by force or suffer for another term at their hands.
This is the second month that I have written this newsletter all by myself I would appreciate a little help, for instance I heard a guy this week talking about things in and around cedar rapids iowa. pertaining to the local government adding taxes to allow for the building of stadiums but then charging the very same people who paid to build it to enter it.

I cant count the nuber of stroies Ive heard lately. let your voice be heard, at letyourvoicebeheard@traprats.info

on another note next months newsletter is shaping up to be a good one.
