Thanks must go out to all the county residents and taxpayers who helped our Fight to Rollback the Stroger Sales Tax Increase by calling or writing letters to the other Commissioners so they would change their minds and support Tony’s Roll Back ordinance.

But there is still much to be done to Reform Cook County Government…
Tony’s Plans for the Future!

Repeal the other half of the Stroger Sales Tax Increase
Require a Super-majority for all future county tax and fee increases
Place a referendum on the ballot for November 2010 to let the people of Cook County decide if they want to remain a “Home Rule” county - which allows elected officials to raise taxes without voter approval. Tony believes that Cook County should NOT be Home Rule and that it was unfair that the people of Cook County never had an opportunity to vote on the issue.
