County tax hike just 1 vote from passing?Tuesday, January 08, 2008 Chicago Sun-Times Cook County Board President Todd Stroger believes he's just one vote away from passing a higher county sales tax, according to a letter sent to union leaders this weekend. The letter threatens massive layoffs of union employees unless one of nine commissioners now opposed to a tax hike plan gives in. The letter names those nine in assessing blame for layoffs. Noticeably absent is Commissioner Earlean Collins, who has been publicly mum about her tax position.
