"We have an emergency, a fiscal emergency... Our state was careening toward bankruptcy, fiscal insolvency. Even in the last couple of months, the situation got seriously more dire. So the governor has to act at the moment. And that's what I did." Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, upon passage of a 67% tax increase at end of lame duck session, January 12, 2011.
"Democrats argued the tax increase was needed to rehabilitate the state's deadbeat image, but Republicans predicted it would drive businesses out of state." The Chicago Tribune, January 12, 2011.

How long before Democrats come piling in, to tell us that it is all a coincidence?
P.S. There's at least one very famous guy from Illinois, who wants to raise taxes for the entire country too.
But, no doubt, those in charge in Illinois will describe it as "unexpected".
