Senate Minority Leader John Curran (pictured) (R-Downers Grove). (Photo courtesy: Dave Dahl/WJBC) By Dave Dahl SPRINGFIELD – Remember the proposed graduated income tax in Illinois? Republicans fear there will be another try at it. Senate Minority Leader John Curran (pictured) (R-Downers Grove) reminded us Wednesday this idea failed in 2020. 'If there's a recession,' Curran told a statehouse news conference, 'voters are not going to want to be paying more in taxes.' Progressive tax proponents said only the highest earners would pay more, but Curran doesn't trust the supermajority party.
