McCombie Stands Against $1.9 Billion Tax Grab
October 29, 2025
Today, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie took a stand against the latest push by House Democrats to fund public transit in the state.
The most recent proposal under SB2111 includes the following tax hikes:
- 7% amusement tax including concerts, streaming like netflix and hulu
- RTA sales tax increase at 0.25%
- Billionaire tax at 4.95%
- $5 large event ticket charge
- More speed cameras in "safety" zones like churches and schools
"It's the same old tax-and-spend playbook from Illinois Democrats, and it's about to make life a lot more expensive for families across our state," said Leader McCombie.
McCombie and House Republicans are standing firm-no more taxes without real reform.
