SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WLS) -- On Election Day, Illinois voters will be asked to vote on an amendment to the state's constitution.
If approved, lawmakers could replace the state's flat-rate income tax with a graduated-rate structure.
So instead of everyone paying the current 4.95%, people with higher incomes would pay a higher income tax rate.

But there is wide disagreement about the impact such a change could have on taxpayers, businesses and the state's finances.
ABC 7 Chicago spoke this week with Quentin Fulks, chairman and executive director of Vote Yes for Fairness, a group supporting the amendment, and Lissa Druss, a spokeswoman with the Coalition to Stop the Proposed Tax Hike Amendment.
