House Bill 1570 would reduce the estate tax owed by excluding assets located outside of Illinois from the overall tax calculations. The measure was introduced and passed in the House by State Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie (D-Chicago) and has been picked up in the Senate by State Sen. Don Harmon. IMA continues to strongly support this measure.Jeff Wegersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14189849564942186511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836245.post-1114098609304310272005-04-21T10:50:00.000-05:002005-04-21T10:50:00.000-05:00Gee... you'd almost think Ryan laid the bricks fro...Gee... you'd almost think Ryan laid the bricks from the sounds of these comments.Bill Baarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095486926836836714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836245.post-1114054109463634612005-04-20T22:28:00.000-05:002005-04-20T22:28:00.000-05:00"I was shocked and I was devastated that (U.S. Hou..."I was shocked and I was devastated that (U.S. House Speaker Dennis) Hastert did not mention him," state Senate Majority Leader Debbie Halvorson, D-Crete, said. "George and Lura Lynn Ryan were very instrumental in doing a majority of the work and I don't care if he's there or not, he still should be a huge part of the process. If I were to see him, I'd make sure to thank him because he's the one that also should have been up on the stage."<BR/><BR/>After the event concluded, state Senate President Emil Jones, speaking from the Senate floor, expressed dismay that neither Rep. Hastert, R-Yorkville, nor U.S. Rep. Ray LaHood, R-Peoria, honored Mr. Ryan.<BR/><BR/>Jones said the former governor, "was the one who put it all together to cause us to have a library in the state of Illinois."<BR/><BR/>Gov. Rod Blagojevich acknowledged both Mr. Ryan's and Mr. Edgar's work. <BR/><BR/>By Scott Reeder Small Newspaper GroupProf. Goldblatt Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11750218589175401938noreply@blogger.com
