Local leaders, including Mayor Ann Tennes, warn of serious community repercussions, while the nonprofit scrambles to find new funding to keep this highly successful stabilization service available.
• Skokie to tax streaming services like Netflix and raise tax on live shows, entertainment (chicagotribune.com) — Skokie is moving to add a 5% tax on streaming services and raise its amusement tax from 2% to 5%, with final approval expected June 1.
