We already know no Mexican street vendor will be made to pay a penny in soda tax.
The time has come to end our Sanctuary City status, and to start executing convicted killers, muggers, drug dealers and violent rapists. We cannot hope to invite desirable new taxpayers in until we purge the city of the lawbreakers who have made it so inhospitable for half a century, landing us in the situation we’re in today.
...
But a law abiding citizenry won’t tolerate corrupt politicians. Why does the author think the Democrats put such effort into building a crime ridden city?
Remember the first scene from Goodfellas ? ( Selling cigarettes from the trunk of a car. )
Your friend was way ahead of the curve.
For those of you in Crook County might consider sticking it to the Rahm with one of these Soda Streams. All supplies can be purchased out of county too so they dont get your tax $$$.

Cooked County.
They could tax the shit out of 9MM rounds
They would probably get a subsidy.
I got a cop buddy from Philly who comes to see me once month. He loads up his truck with Pepsi, Coke, Mt. Dew etc and takes it back to sell. No tax (Philly), I give him coupons and what profits is spent on beer for me when we go fishing.
Workers’ comp fraud can’t be left on back burner, law firm argues
Politics

The budget battle in the Illinois Statehouse has allowed workers’ compensation fraud to continue largely unchecked, the law firm Keefe, Campbell, Biery & Associates (KCBA) contends.
The Chicago-based law firm argues that Illinois has failed to provide the manpower and resources to effectively combat fraud, as the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Fraud Unit (WCFU) was reduced to two investigators in 2015 – an inadequate number to investigate the increasing number of complaints. While cases more than tripled that year, from 100 to 331, the unit accomplished only three convictions in 2015 and again in 2016.
KCBA points out that neighboring Ohio prosecuted approximately 132 cases, an average of 11 convictions per month. The American Insurance Association (AIA) agreed with KCBA’s argument.
“We think Illinois should do it tougher and bigger and bolder in pursuing workers’ compensation fraud,” Stephen Scheider, AIA’s Midwest region vice president, told KCBA, the firm said. “There’s certainly a lot more that can be done. When you look at states like Florida and Ohio, obviously they’re doing something right.”
