Rep. Halbrook has indicated that Illinois residents might face more taxes in the future. He pointed out factors such as increased spending, budget deficits, and the recent approval of a "millionaires' tax" as potential contributors to this development. Halbrook also mentioned that Democrats might revive efforts to implement a "progressive tax."

Halbrook stated, "Hold on to your wallets! Rep. Halbrook today said increased spending, budget deficits, and the recent passage of a so-called 'millionaires’ tax' likely add up to additional tax increases coming for Illinois families…including a renewed push by Democrats to implement a 'progressive tax'."

The implications of these developments are yet to be fully understood, but they suggest potential changes in the financial obligations of Illinois families.
