An open letter to the Cook County Board of Commissioners

Good afternoon.
My name is Bill Hronek, and I live in Forest Park. I am writing you concerning proposed increases in sales taxes and other taxes. I ask that when this matter comes to a vote, you vote no. Cook County already has some very high taxes and more than a reasonable revenue stream to fund services.
Should you vote yes in this matter, you will force residents who can barely afford their taxes now to pay even more. You will also alienate voters. I will vote to not re-elect anyone who does anything except to vote "no" on these increases.
Thank you for your time.
