Pritzker Fighting For Illinois Tariff Refunds
(Springfield, IL) — Governor JB Pritzker says Illinois families are owed roughly eight-point-six billion dollars after the Supreme Court struck down several Trump tariffs. Now it’s a question of when, if ever residents of the state will ever see that money. Despite the High Court’s ruling last month, it was not directly addressed how refunds might be paid, nor was a timeline for repayment established. Economists estimate importers across the U.S. could be in line for up to 175 billion dollars.
