A tax on bottled water? A proposed 10.5% sales tax in Cook County? When does it stop?

Mayor Daley has even been quoted as saying:

"I'm open to more innovative ideas on things to tax..."

Wouldn't it be cool if we could fund the Chicago Public Schools with something other than taxes?

Local businesses spend money to advertise. One day, all that money they spend will be with companies located in Silicon Valley. Our local economy will be devastated when all this money leaves the state and never comes back.

SaveChicago.org secret No. 3: Take that money and use it to fund the Public Schools and you won't need to raise taxes to come up with more revenue.

SaveChicago.org is up and running and we're mobilizing consumers like you, all non-profit organizations, and any Chicago businesses. Sign up today on www.savechicago.org and join the solution.
