From the article: "...it’s possible the new taxes on sugary beverages will drive business out of Illinois and Cook County rather than generate revenue."

Not only possible, absolutely certain. Imagine a store owner on the Cook county side of the line. If he moves across the street he avoids all these extra taxes. If he doesn't move across the street, someone else will open a store and put him out of business. He has no choice.
