Digging Out of a Hole

  Even though I try to stay away from politics, I do like to keep informed on agenda that affects our hard earned dollar.  Due to the deficit that Chicago is in, city officials and the mayor have come up with some potential solutions that will involve our own money.  Here are a few:

--Raise water and sewer rates
--Impose a 1% city income tax
--Impose a 1% commuter tax
--Impose a $5 congestion fee on vehicles entering the Central Business District during the morning and evening rush hours
--Install toll booths on Lake Shore Drive and charge, on average, $2.50 per vehicle
