Grocery Tax Elimination Petition

Grocery Tax Petition

Illinois is one of only 13 states that tax groceries. One hundred percent of the revenue generated from this tax is sent to municipalities to help balance local budgets. It pays for police, firefighters, and public works processes for municipalities.

Governor Pritzker wants to eliminate the tax without protecting municipalities from devastating funding losses. This isn’t tax relief. It is simply swapping a state tax for a local tax since local governments would likely need to raise taxes at the municipal level to fill the gap.

Senator DeWitte’s legislation eliminates the tax and backfills the lost revenues cities and villages would face.

If you agree that the 1% sales tax on groceries should be eliminated in a way that protects municipalities and eliminates the need for local tax hikes, please sign Senator DeWitte’s petition.*

Yes, I support Senator DeWitte's petition to eliminate the states grocery tax in a way that protects municipalities.
