If the Cook County Board of Commissioners got their way, the total sales tax in Cook would've climbed to up to 11 percent on most purchases.
From WBEZ-FM Radio:
Suffredin says Commissioner Earlean Collins is also a no—and Commissioner Roberto Maldonado, thought to be a swing vote on taxes, says he’ll vote no too. Which, means, if put up to the 17 member county board the sales tax hike would be defeated.
Commissioner Suffredin added, "At this point it would be ten to seven."
Power to the people!
