2020 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Corporations


J.B. Pritzker: Phasing out corporate franchise tax helped small business

Working across the aisle, we brought tax relief for 300,000 small businesses through the phase out of the corporate franchise tax. And we laid the groundwork for new high-paying tech jobs by opening new business incubators, by incentivizing the building of new data centers, and by investing $100 million in a University of Illinois and University of Chicago partnership that will make Illinois the quantum computing capital of the world.

Jim Justice: Eliminate business inventory and machinery tax if we can

Jobs in this state are good. There's no question that they're moving in the right direction and they're good. Here's something that I want everyone to know. The business inventory and machinery tax is holding us back in some areas. We need to try to find a solution to where we can either get on a glide path or quickly get on a better glide path to eliminate that tax if we can.
