Dear Cook County (and IL as a whole), as a tax payer and business owner, I demand you balance your budget, cut costs and streamline your staff instead of raising taxes. If I don't balance MY budget, my business closes and I demand the same from my government.

Taxes are too high in IL and Cook County. The county must continue with spending cuts and government efficiency reforms. Increasing revenue is simply taking the easy way out. Vote No on the Tax

Property Taxes have increased over and over. Take a look at budget cuts.

Government should work for the people; not tax them to death.

This is NOT the answer to budget wow's and years of spending that exceeds revenues!!! The consumers won't loose, they will just continue to take business to neighboring Counties and States... this is not good for local businesses or even local jobs!!!

I already can't afford my ridiculous property taxes and soon I'll have to travel out side of my home town to buy anything to avoid a ridiculous sales tax. Both are a result of mismanagement of public funds!

As a small retail business owner, I would hate to see an increase in sales tax.

A sales tax increase in Chicago would be harmful to consumers, Chicago businesses, and the local ecomony.

Sales taxes are the most regressive taxes there are and they harm poorer people more than other taxes. Please do not move forward with this ;plan. Think harder. Brainstorm better.
