Thanks to Peraica, Cook County May Get a Tax Cut

The Cook County Board of Commissioners finally passed what appears to be a veto-proof rollback of the county sales tax.

It’s not quite the full $1 rollback that Tony Peraica proposed more than a year ago (and again this year, which the board then passed), but it is tax relief and it does appear to have the support of 14 commissioners needed to override Todd Stroger’s promised veto.

You can read Peraica’s statement here.

He also appeared on Fox News Chicago yesterday morning to discuss the tax relief ordinance (video below):
