(Chicago Tribune) — In an economy that’s still struggling, clothing store manager Bob Geish is optimistic that even a small rollback of Cook County’s sales tax will be good for business.
The county’s sales tax drops a half a percentage point Thursday to 1.25 percent. Geish, manager of Red 21 in Burr Ridge, is hopeful that it will keep customers coming to his store instead of traveling to another county or state with lower taxes.
