Watch Zoom debate on merits of graduated income tax amendment

The Chicago Daily Herald hosted a Zoom Webinar for its executive board.  Ralph Martire, executive director of the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, argued in favor of the graduated tax during a meeting with the Daily Herald editorial board. He said the graduated tax, by raising $3.6 billion from people with annual taxable income over $250,000, would be a foundation for getting public pension debt under control. Ultimately, voters will decide the fate of the graduated tax initiative Nov. 3.
