PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT
Amendment 19: On February 1, 2012 Commissioners Gainer, Collins, Gorman, Murphy and Sims introduced an amendment to the Amusement Tax Ordinance which closed a tax loophole that had been providing outdated tax exceptions for the Lollapollaza Music Festival. Closing this loophole has since generated approximately $700,000 in new revenue for the County. This Budget amendment will direct $100,000 in funding to youth summer jobs throughout Cook County to be administered by the Cook County Forest Preserve.
