Union taxpayers paid $245,119 in Municipal Sales Tax in 2021, according to Illinois tax records.

The Municipal Sales Tax is collected for municipal governments’ use.

Illinois is the highest taxed state in the US.

A 2021 study from Wallet Hub found Illinois taxes are 38.95 percent higher than the national average.

Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker is accused of adding more than $5.2 billion in new or higher taxes since coming into power in early 2019. As a business owner, he has a fortune of more than $3 billion, largely based on his family’s wealth and connections.
