Tax ‘em home!
State Rep. Mike Tryon (R-Crystal Lake) is introducing legislation today that will apply the Illinois income tax to visiting legislators from Wisconsin and Indiana.
Noting that the Democrats passed legislation to “close corporate loopholes” which resulted in Illinois taxing planes while they were flying over Illinois, incomes of movie stars filming in Illinois, baseball and football team players on Illinois fields,
“I think that ought to apply to visiting Democrats.”
“What’s good enough for the Green Bay Packers is good enough for the Wisconsin legislature.”
The only problem is: those taxes apply to people working in Illinois, even though they don’t live in Illinois. When the Packers play at Soldier’s Field, they have to pay taxes to Illinois because they’re doing their jobs in Illinois.
The fugitive Wisconsin and Indiana legislators aren’t doing their jobs.

Ironically, those Senators claim that they are doing their jobs.
