The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce has joined the Illinois business community in opposing Gov. J.B. Pritzker's tax proposal which would result in a $500M tax increase on Illinois small businesses.
“We urge the Governor and legislature to reject this massive tax increase at a time when thousands of small businesses across the entire state are struggling to stay afloat during a pandemic and government-imposed shutdowns,” the group said. “This will have a dramatic impact on every aspect of business, including some of our most decimated industries. We understand the desire to find revenue, but this is the opposite of an ‘all-in’ approach.”
The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce is an organization whose goal is to “relentlessly lobby and ensure business has a seat at the table to protect and create pro-business policies” to help businesses focus on growing and creating jobs.
The chamber carries various programs which include Mid-Market Chicago, healthcare, and technology.
The mid-market Chicago program supports markets with $10M to $1B in annual revenue throughout Chicagoland utilizing networking, programming, and educational resources.
Its healthcare program focuses on issues and resources in and around the healthcare industry.
Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce’s technology council offers opportunities for business organizations to achieve their goals, leveraging technology.
