GOP lawmaker wants to tax Wisconsin Dems

[The Straight Story]

SPRINGFIELD — Illinois should start taxing the paychecks of on-the-lam Democratic lawmakers from Wisconsin and Indiana if they’re intent on staying here for long, a GOP lawmaker proposed Thursday.

State Rep. Michael Tryon (R-Crystal Lake) said he will sponsor legislation to impose the state’s 5-percent individual income tax on the out-of-state lawmakers while they are here to avoid votes on union-busting legislation in their home states and ostensibly working.

“If you’re a movie star and come here and work, we’ll tax you. If the Green Bay Packers come to Soldier Field and play a game, they are paying the income tax,” Tryon claimed.

“But we have legislators from Wisconsin who are working here for the purpose of denying a quorum. We know they’re working here because they say that on TV. When you work in Illinois, you ought to pay the tax,” Tryon said.
