RTA Tax Effort By Region

RTA sales tax receipts information may tell us more about where people shop than where they live. Nonetheless, it is worth knowing how much RTA tax revenue comes from the various areas that make up the RTA system. I've used 2005 population and RTA sales tax numbers to derive the RTA sales tax per person figures. Recall that the RTA sales tax rate is 1 percent in Cook County and 0.25 percent in the collar counties:

Per Capita RTA Sales Tax Contribution

Chicago $75.32
Suburban Cook $151.75
Cook Total $110.76

Lake $38.90
McHenry $28.40
Kane $31.80
Dupage $47.90
Will $26.65
Collar Counties Total $36.90

On a per capita basis suburban Cook County's RTA sale tax receipts are much higher than in Chicago (twice as much) and the collar counties (four times as much). It is no wonder that the House Special Committee on Mass Transit concluded in its April 2005 report on the transit funding formula (available here) that under the current RTA taxing and funding arrangements suburban Cook County is subsidizing transit service in both Chicago and the collar counties.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.
