The Chicago Tribune reports:
Dozens of companies doing business in the Chicago area are routing their sales through small outlying municipalities with low sales tax rates, siphoning tens of millions of dollars from city and suburban taxing districts.
There's more:
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office said late Friday that the city plans to file a lawsuit early next week against Kankakee and Channahon. "There is money that should be going to Chicago that is going to other cities," said Chris Mather, a spokeswoman for Emanuel.
High sales taxes have consequences. What better proof than this?
