Budget cuts prompt a dozen Illinois historic sites to pare schedules

[Gene C]

As usual, the states forget about the colateral sales tax revenue from souveniers, restraunt and motels, that having these historical sites add to a community and state revenue. Then there is the income and property tax paid by these businessese. Just think about the income we poured into the state on our Springfield Tour.

So be sure to join us this October to help bail out the state of Illinois and preserve the history and heritage that we care so much about.
(for you accountants out there, can I say I'm working on a book, and deduct all my traveleing expenses off my taxes? - even if it never gets published?)
