City Council Votes to Raise Water Tax
Clip: 9/13/2016 | 4m 33sVideo has Closed Captions
The debate over water and sewer taxes is over in Chicago: they are going to go up.
City Council overwhelmingly approved the tax hike Wednesday, with the stated goal of directing the revenue toward one of the city's beleaguered pension funds. That tops a busy council session that saw the mayor suffer a near defeat at the hands of African-American aldermen and action on Uber’s driverless cars.
