We know Pritzker opposes legislation to repeal Soda Tax, but does he support another pending repeal plan?
For over a month, Cook County residents have been subjected to the absurd soda tax that Chicago Democrats have imposed on them.
J.B. Pritzker has repeatedly avoided taking any position that would benefit residents who have been paying the price for Toni Preckwinkle and the Cook County Machine’s money grab.
Similar taxes have been viewed as a cautionary tale, resulting in layoffs and reduced sales for small businesses.
When taxes like this have failed elsewhere, why do Toni Preckwinkle and her fellow Democrats continue to support them, especially when confronted with overwhelming disapproval from their constituents?
We know J.B. Pritzker opposes bipartisan legislation in Springfield to repeal the Soda Tax, he says “local governments should be given deference to make decisions over their own jurisdictions,” but where does Pritzker stand on the pendingCook County Board of Commissioners plan to repeal the soda tax?
So far, he’s been MIA and for good reason. The Cook County Democrats recently endorsed Pritzker, and his tacit approval of their disastrous soda tax is the price of their support.
Clearly, Pritzker and the Cook County Democratic Machine have no intention of standing up for taxpayers, especially when there is money to be made.
5 More days for Pritzker to take action.
