CHICAGO — Mayor Richard M. Daley said he likes Alderman George Cardenas’ proposal of placing a tax of up to 25 cents on every bottle of water sold here, an August 15 Chicago Sun-Times story reported.
Daley told the Sun-Times, “Money-wise, it’s a good idea. Environmental-wise, it’s a good idea, too ... There’s so much plastic in our lives. It’s amazing. Every time you look, there’s plastic all over.”
According to the story, the state of Illinois placed No. 7 in the United States in terms of bottled water consumption.
