Let's Stop Taxing Food, Medicine, & Medical Appliances

-The current Illinois budget calls for a temporary suspension of the state sales tax on groceries through June 30, 2023. 

I don’t think that is good enough.

“Life’s Essentials” should never have been taxed in the first place. We can fix that.

Illinois is one of only 13 states that impose sales tax on groceries. Illinois is also the one and only state that taxes prescription drugs at the state level.

I will fight for the permanent elimination of state and ALL local sales taxes on:

• Basic foods such as bread, milk, cheese, baby food and formula, fresh meats, poultry, common seafood, fruits, nuts, vegetables and similar food.
• All prescription drugs and non-prescription pain relievers such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen, cough suppressants, antihistamines, antacids, laxatives, and diarrhea remedies.
• MedicalAppliances such as, but not limited to, crutches or canes, wheelchairs, walkers, and braces.

Help me fight this battle to eliminate these regressive taxes. Please sign the petition change.org/NoTaxOnFood and
