Randy Hultgren, R-14th District, said in a release Monday. The tax rates set to expire Jan. 1 are the Bush-era tax cuts, which would push taxes back to 2001 levels, and President Barack Obama’s temporary tax cuts — a 2 percent payroll tax holiday and the earned income credit. The combination of the expiration of those two sets of tax cuts and new tax increases set to begin on Jan. 1 has been dubbed by CBS as a “fiscal cliff.” The impact is expected to mean a tax increase for 84 percent of Americans, according to the CBS report, and CBS’ Moneywatch is advising taxpayers prepare …

Dems in 14th District Race Talk Earmarks, Taxes and Deficits

The League of Women Voters of Central Kane County hosted candidates Thursday night.

Two Democrats vying for their party’s nomination in the 14th Congressional District addressed questions from interested residents Thursday night. The League of Women Voters of Central Kane County hosted the candidates in a forum at Batavia’s City Hall. Dennis Anderson of Gurnee and Jonathan Farnick of Woodstock will square off in the March 20 Illinois primary in the hope of challenging Republican incumbent Randy Hultgren for the 14th District. Both Democrats largely seemed to agree on many of the issues in the questions submitted from residents but did differ on how they view the divide between parties in Washington D.C.   What should we do to reduce the federal deficit?  Cutting military spending is one area the candidates both see as …
