Where Your Tax Dollars Go
The document provides an overview of the state's FY2014 budget and finances. It shows that the $71 billion all funds budget draws from various sources, including $35 billion from general revenue funds. The general revenue funds come largely from personal income taxes and are allocated to areas like Medicaid, pensions, education, and human services. The state has reduced its backlog of unpaid bills from $9.1 billion in FY2012 to an estimated $5.6 billion in FY2014. Pension obligation bonds issued in FY2010-2011 will be fully retired by FY2020 and have generated $806 million more in returns than interest costs.

Editor's Notes
- #3 The red slice of the pie represents Other State Funds. There are over 700 state funds, or checking accounts. Examples include the Road Fund, which funds road construction and maintenance, and the Medical Disciplinary Fund, which doctors pay into through their license fees and then use to fund the agency that regulates physicians.
- #4 Other sources include gaming proceeds and utility taxesFederal receipts are the match we generate on Medicaid spending
- #5 The Governor’s introduced budget include a $145 million cut to money the state uses to reimburse school districts for the cost of transporting students
- #12 So here is Illinois personal rate at 5%. It is flat, regardless of income level.Now, let’s take a look at: (Illinois 5% rate will appear first, followed by this list)Indiana, which yes, is lower although individual counties can assess an income tax on top of the state rateKentuckyMissouriWisconsinAnd IowaOh and wait, as a reminder, Illinois rate drops to 3.75% on January 1, 2015. That’s law. And THAT puts us lower than Indiana.

- #14 $5.4 billion dollars lostWhat does that mean in terms of state spending?Well, we can’t cut debt service costs. We already have the lowest ratio of state employees to population in the nation.So let’s look at three major areas of discretionary spending: human services, p-12, and higher educationA $5.4 billion loss is a 39% hit to those budgetsIf we were to spread that proportionally, p-12 would lose $2.6 billion. That’s more than half of the $4.4 billion we will spend on state aid to school districts this year
- #16 In FY10 and FY11, TRS and SURS DID receive GRF before bonds were sold and bond proceeds were distributed to the systems. The GRF they received prior to the bond sale was NOT returned to GRF. This is why the 5.1% and 4.8% , respectively, appears.
- #18 I’m proud of many of the accomplishments made by Senate Democrats in the last few years. Many of those successes were on issues of vital importance to this region. Here are just a few: We passed a responsible concealed-carry measure. In the wake of a ruling by the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals that declared the state’s ban on the right to carry unconstitutional, Forby has been collaborating with colleagues from both sides of the aisle to bring Illinois in line with the 49 other states who have some form of concealed carry. We passed fracking legislation. And it goes without saying that Southern Illinois has been known as a resource-rich area with deep coal deposits and an abundance of fertile farm ground. During the spring session, a push has been made by Forby and other local lawmakers to tap what is being called one of the largest natural gas reserves in the Midwest. We are proud of our commitment and fight to keep Tamms open as both an important jobs center for the region and a deterrent within the criminal justice system.
