This article is about the successful vote by the Cook County Commissioners to override President Todd Stroger’s veto of a half-penny rollback in the County sales tax. It quotes Civic Federation President Laurence Msall who says that the County should not have to burden the Cook County Health and Hospital System with budget cuts as a result of the tax rollback.
