Mayor Rahm Emanuel Rolls the Dice to Pay Chicago's Pension Bills
The Wall Street Journal; subscription may be required June 8, 2015 "Hiking Chicago's property taxes, which have increased by about half over the past five years, is politically unpopular. Ditto raising the city's 9.25% sales tax, which is among the highest in the state and Midwest. And Illinois Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has thrown cold water on a state bailout. Opinion Journal Video Independent Institute Senior Fellow Lawrence McQuillan on his new book, 'California Dreaming,' and how to right the state's finances. Photo credit: Getty Images. So how does Mr. Emanuel plan to pay the city's pension bills? Gambling. The mayor wants state lawmakers to authorize a city-owned casino whose revenues would exclusively fund pensions. He says the casino would be a win-win for workers and taxpayers." |
