STATE | FINANCE Entertainment | DVORAK CONCERT HALL Legislator advocates progressive income tax By Rachel Rodgers Special Projects Reporter @rj_rodgers

The state of Illinois looks for revenue in all of the wrong places, preventing higher education from functioning properly, a state repre- sentative said Thursday. Addressing a crowd of about 50 professors, annuitants and community members, State Rep. Naomi Jakobsson promoted the adop- tion of a progressive income tax in Illinois, which would require an amendment to the state constitution. Illinois currently applies a flat tax where all income levels have an equal tax. A progressive tax proposes tax on income to be measured on a graduated rate, meaning lower rates would apply to lower income levels, and higher rates would apply to higher income levels. Jakobsson, representing the 103rd district encompassing Champaign and Urbana, argued that years of spending cuts to services, Seth Schroeder | The Daily Eastern News especially education, and the unfunded pen- Musician Pokie LaFarge performs with his band Thursday at the Dvorak Concert Hall in the Doudna Fine Arts Center.

By Dominic Renzetti Managing Editor @domrenzetti

The last time the Eastern hockey club played Bradley, the Panthers left with a bad taste in their mouth. Eastern was handed two losses when the two teams met in Janu- ary. Injuries to key players Michael Sorrentino and Loren Jacobs, both with MCL injuries, had the Pan- thers at a disadvantage and the team lost 7-6 and 9-5. “Bradley, we played them last year at the end of the season,” senior forward Chris Gallagher said. “We had a lot of key players missing due to injuries and stuff like that, so we have a bad taste in our mouth right now about Bradley.” Gallagher is one of only a hand- ful of players still on the team from last season, with many of the team’s seniors graduating. “There’s more rookies than there is vets right now,” Gallagher said. “ Jason Howell | The Daily Eastern News They’ll be very involved.” Freshman midfield forward Davis Wegmann races toward the ball with Dayton junior David Abidor right beside him in a match at Lakeside Field on Aug.
