Henry County taxpayers paid $1.3 million in Countywide Sales Tax in 2021, according to Illinois tax records.

This is an increase over the year before when $1 million was collected.

The Countywide Sales Tax is collected for county governments use.

Illinois is the highest taxed state in the US.

A 2021 study from Wallet Hub found Illinois taxes are 38.95 percent higher than the national average.

Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker is accused of adding more than $5.2 billion in new or higher taxes since coming into power in early 2019. As a business owner, he has a fortune of more than $3 billion, largely based on his family's wealth and connections.
