After letting loose on the Cook County government, I don't have the energy to paste excerpts and comments about the City's budget battle. Suffice to say that residents (DESPITE voting for liberal Democrats every chance they get) and aldermen (despite BEING liberal Democrats) are holding the line on property taxes against the mayor. They've got a little 1994 House Republican in them. Also, I'd like to note that residents are cranky about the new taxes on booze. That reminds me of when Al Bundy became politically active to try to stop a 2 cent beer tax.
I'm sure they will just tax everything else, but I recommend reading the whole thing, especially if you're a resident.
