Second Illinois Bill Filed To Challenge Chicago Sports Betting Tax – InGame

State Sen. Patrick Joyce has filed a bill that would reduce Chicago’s Local Government Distributive Fund allocation from the state by the exact amount the city would generate with its recently passed 10.25 percent sports betting tax on city-based revenue. State Rep. Daniel Didech filed legislation in October that would prevent Chicago's mayor from enacting home rule to levy taxes on sports betting by prohibiting local jurisdictions from taxing, regulating, or imposing fees on gambling.

These idiots do know there are offshore books that get around these taxes right. And with one call to the right person you can place your bet and no taxes are ever paid. Dumb shits

Maybe that’s the idea? Take business away from the capitalist colonizers and re- distribute the wealth to the guaranteed income crowd?
