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.

Why are we doing this?
One of the main objectives of CitizenPowered.org is to build the social capital (defined as the number, quality and utility of social networks)—of communities. Social capital is the building block of communities. It is the relationships within communities and across communities that help everything from neighborhood watches to job training programs to wetlands preservation happen. Every community has social capital, and nearly every community has gaps that social capital can help fill.
