Nobody likes "sin" taxes as much as Cook County... Cook County, or as we call it "Crook County" has some of the highest taxes in the country....
Their new 'sugar tax' kicks in July 1st, now a 2 liter of pop will go from $0.99 to $1.83 because of the new tax on sugary drinks... The price of pop will now double with the new Crook county tax...
They also have high taxes on liquor and tobacco... That's why when someone from Cook county goes out of the county or to Indiana, they stock up on the beer-gas-cigarettes to avoid the extra Crook county taxes....
But I can't find any current info that lists how much tax is on one gallon in Cook County, IL.... They seem to break it down to just cook county and not include the other taxes... IL is one of only 7 states to charge sales tax on gas also....
