Chicago's Bottled water tax take falls far short

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Revenues from Chicago's new bottled water tax are continuing to trickle in -- at less than half of city projections -- despite claims that consumption would rise during warm-weather months.

City Hall predicted a summer surge after the Chicago Sun-Times reported that the first month of collections from the nickel-a-container tax had fallen far short of the city's projections.
Chicago Democrats could care less.They will try and take money anyway they can.
