Americans for Prosperity Action Applauds Illinoisans for Rejecting So-Called “Fair Tax”

Following voters’ rejection of the ballot measure to change Illinois’s constitutionally protected flat income tax to a graduated one, Americans for Prosperity Action Senior Advisor Andrew Nelms issued the following statement:
