| Big Illinois corporations consider leaving state and its taxes |
| 2011-06-10 |
| CME, the company that owns the 2 leading futures exchanges in Chicago, considers moving some of its operations to other states in response to increased state taxes. CME's threat comes at a time when other Illinois companies, including Caterpillar and Sears Holdings Corp., have raised the possibility of leaving Illinois. Other states have tried to dangle lucrative incentive packages to lure companies, and Illinois has offered up many incentives to successfully retain big companies including Motorola Mobility. The result has resembled a national bidding war for some of Illinois' top companies. |
