OT: Will the last person leaving C(r)ook County please turn out the lights?

Feb 05, 2008 2 Replies

Todd Stroger and the C(r)ook County Board have come up with another proposal to raise taxes to cover the C(r)ook County Budget shortfall. Instead of raising property taxes on everybody almost a billion dollars, they're raising vehicle fees 40 bucks on everybody in the county (something like 7 million vehicles). This is in addition to 85 bucks for the state and 20-95 bucks (depending) for the various municipalities here in C(r)ook County, Illinois.



You don't want to know what I call this Tax and Spend DemonCrap behind his back. Nobody voted for him, he got the job because his big fat Daddy basically died in office.



Todd, fire some of your daddy's fat cat cronies and balance the budget that way.



Charles the Curmudgeon.



This is almost as horrible as women being allowed to think for themselves and leave the house with a male escort. You must be miserable.

Just like George Dubya Bush balanced the budget by firing HIS daddy's fat cat cronies?
