NWSOFA Fiscal & Economic Issues When we review policy issues we ask: How will this policy issue affect economic growth and jobs? How will this policy issue affect the budget deficit, both now and in the future? We have spent a lot of time examining economic and jobs growth and budget issues at the national level We started looking at the Illinois budget more in 2015 So how is the U.S. economy doing? How are we doing with the federal budget deficit?

NWSOFA Fiscal & Economic Issues In the second quarter of 2016, Illinois jobs numbers were updated from January through March, with prior years restated significantly. 2014 job growth went from +66,800 to +88,000. 2015 job growth went from -3,000 to +51,400. 2016 is off to a good start - +51,300 jobs in first eleven months

NWSOFA Fiscal & Economic Issues Illinois’ Alleged Spending Spree with the Higher Income Tax Rates

NWSOFA Fiscal & Economic Issues The 5th most regressive state and local tax structure in the country

NWSOFA Fiscal & Economic Issues Rauner’s FY 2017 Budget: $3.5 billion shortfall in estimated revenue vs. proposed spending Revenue estimate may be $725 million high In other words, Governor Rauner’s budget needs between $3.5 and $4.2 billion in additional revenue to be in balance

NWSOFA Fiscal & Economic Issues Some revenue ideas from CRS since all budgets need revenue Reinstating the 5% income tax rate for another 2-3 years ($5 billion per year) Expanding the state sales tax to include all consumer services ($2 billion per year) [regressive] Taxing a percentage of retirement income for individuals with an Adjusted Gross Income over $50,000 per year ($1.2 billion per year) [doubtful due to politics – seniors vote] Passing a constitutional amendment to allow a progressive income tax [2016 ballot, FY 2018 is 1st impacted year]

NWSOFA Fiscal & Economic Issues The IL economy that Rauner wanted to “turnaround”

NWSOFA Fiscal & Economic Issues The IL economy that Rauner wanted to “turnaround” In 2014, the year before Governor Rauner took office, Illinois added 88,000 jobs per the Establishment survey, unemployment declined by 2.1% and employment increased by 94,701 per the Household Survey. The job gains were the 2nd best year since 1998, trailing only 2012. The employment gains were the best since 2006. For 2015 under Governor Rauner jobs were up 51,400, unemployment is up 0.1% and employment is up 48,203.  (Dec 2014 – December 2015) So Governor Rauner is accomplishing a “turnaround”—a negative “turnaround” Our last real (negative) turnaround governor was George Ryan (Jan 1999 - Jan 2003) who presided over a 110,532 person decline in the labor force, a 252,273 person decline in employment, and a loss of 86,400 jobs in the Establishment survey. (Dec 1998 - Dec 2002) By contrast under Blagojevich and Quinn we increased the labor force by 221,523, increased employment by 234,954, and increased jobs by 46,100. (Dec 2002 - Dec 2014)
