Why my city doesn't rock

To add to the trend of everything getting more expensive, today Chicago's sales tax increased to 10.25%. :(

At least you didn't have to get a new city sticker for today. $80 down the drain. :(

Keep that FLA license as long as you can!!

I think Olivia meant to say 'highest sales tax in the nation.'

Its pretty bad, I'm surprised we're higher than San Francisco.
