As House Democrats’ new taxes on cryptocurrency, fantasy sports, sports betting, social media, and digital ads face legal uncertainty, Republicans will explain why these taxes are ineffective and should be repealed.

Rep. Weaver: "We’re here this morning because this year’s state budget included five novel tax increases passed by Illinois Democrats. These are brand new taxes passed by Democrats who cannot control their out-of-control spending habits to the point where they had to invent novel taxes to hit Illinois families even harder in their wallets."
