The Talker: Ald. Sawyer (6th) suggests commuter tax in Chicago - Chicago News and Weather | FOX Chicago News
[VIDEO] Ald. Sawyer was on FOX Chicago to talk about a commuter tax in our city:Chicagoans were talking about making commuters pay Thursday night. No one likes to pay more city taxes, but some folks are paying none at all - suburbanites who come into Chicago to work.Do you agree with this?
They drive on Chicago's roads, walk on Chicago's sidewalks, drink Chicago's water and then leave.
Chicago's facing a huge budget deficit and at least one alderman is wondering whether it's time to force suburbanites to pay extra, if they work downtown.
Alderman Roderick Sawyer (6th) suggested the idea of a commuter tax after Mayor Emanuel released his budget to City Council on Wednesday.
Hat-tip WG! :)
