Toddler Runs on Taxes

No new taxes!

• Cook County Board President Todd Stroger unveils his budget for next year which he says includes no new taxes or fees.

  He told county commissioners on Thursday afternoon that the $3 billion spending plan will not reduce services.

  Stroger says this is possible because of a controversial sales tax increase passed last year.

See? He's already raised the taxes and bought off at least one commissioner who changed her vote so the tax hike could stay. Now he can claim to be "holding the line" on the previous increases.

Vote Toddler - for change!
