(The Center Square) – Opposition is growing to oppose raising excise taxes on liquor, wine and beer in Illinois.
The Coalition to Rebuild Illinois’ Hospitality Industry is supporting a bipartisan resolution to stop any tax hike, saying it would have a ripple effect throughout the state’s economy, dealing yet another blow to the restaurant and hospitality industry already reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic.
