New Sales Tax Rollback Plan Coming For Cook County

CBS2:
It's considered a long-shot, but a new push for tax reform in Cook County is set to be presented at a County Board meeting Tuesday.

County Commissioner Tony Peraica (R-16th) is expected to present an ordinance to repeal what's left of the countywide sales tax increase the board approved in 2008.

Commissioners already reduced 0.5 percent of the sales tax, cutting the total tax rate in Chicago from 10.25 percent to 9.75 percent. In doing so, they overrode a veto by County Board President Todd Stroger.
