The Cook County beverage tax was brought to an end last week because residents and local businesses stood up to voice their opposition to a deeply unpopular policy, and commissioners finally listened. https://t.co/s0ZagydGeu

The #CookCounty#BeverageTax Repeal took effect today. I was pleased to join several of my board colleagues & business leaders at the Supermercado La Chiquita in Cicero to remind residents the tax is gone and to return to shopping in our Cook County businesses. #canthetax
Cook County families and small businesses are proof that when people make their voices heard, elected officials will listen. Because of the overwhelming opposition the beverage tax will cease to exist in Cook County.
