In the meantime, he saved himself a big tax hike. And he still threatens to move away and take his company with him.

Again, I think you are oversimplifying KG’s efforts as just “trying to reduce his own taxes”. That’s just not how this works.
I don’t think his personal tax burden is really that big of a motivating factor for him—he can abandon Illinois in a heartbeat if he wants to. I think he is more interested in Illinois cleaning up its image financially and becoming more welcome to investment so that companies (and people) can grow and thrive without worrying about what new ways to generate revenue the various bloated Government bodies in this State will come up with. And that is 100% on the table for the Democrats. Nothing is not fair game with them running things.
