The document discusses Governor Blagojevich's proposed Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) in Illinois, which would be the largest tax increase in the state's history. The GRT is a tax on all business revenues, not just profits, and creates a "pyramid effect" where costs are passed to consumers as goods move through production chains. Opponents argue that the GRT will drive up costs for businesses and consumers, harm Illinois' competitiveness, and potentially cause job losses as businesses relocate to other states with lower taxes.

The Articles of Confederation, the first governing document of the United States, proved to be weak and ineffective. It denied the central government the power to tax or enforce laws on the states.

2012 Scorecard
The document summarizes the 2012 legislative session in Arizona from the perspective of the Arizona League of Conservation Voters. Key points:
- Many bills were introduced that would weaken environmental protections, and while some failed, too many passed. The legislature showed disregard for the environment.
- The session was marred by scandals involving legislators resigning due to domestic violence and other charges. With replacements and redistricting, the next legislature will look very different.
- Overall environmental scores for legislators were up slightly from the previous year, and votes were less partisan, but the legislature still needs to be more responsive to constituents who want a healthy environment.

Allen county government
The document provides an overview of Allen County government, including its history, structure, responsibilities, budget challenges, and future outlook.
