Federal taxes are paid by employers and individuals. The state doesn’t collect all its residents’ federal taxes and then send the fed a payment.

When a massive storm system crosses state lines, the resulting damage should be evaluated fairly, consistently and based on the same objective standards and criteria, regardless of which state it impacts. Illinois will fight back against these political games.
