Heard a radio thing about Chicago about two weeks ago re: their large budget gaps and how they are trying to address them. The major one discussed was tax. They mentioned how they have attracted so many large biz's in the past due to what was evidently very beneficial terms that were somehow individually negotiated with the city. City trying to roll those back and increase all taxes across the board. Iirc, they said that some of the larger co's were paying something like 3% and the city's new plan was to go to 9.something%. Many of the larger biz's in chi were noted as making noise about relocation. As of the story, nothing was finalized, so it should be interesting to see what Chi does.
