Dangers of Car Carbon Monoxide and Tax Talks
A discussion warns of deadly carbon monoxide from warming cars in closed garages and urges invention of a safety device to shut off ignition when dangerous gas accumulates. The piece then surveys Illinois tax policy debates during a special session, noting Republican proposals to reduce the three percent state sales tax and Democratic pressure to trim a penny, with political implications for Governor Horner and loyalty to party lines. It cites tax burdens on businesses, headlines a Collier's view on automobile taxation, and comments on overall tax impact on consumers and industry as the Supreme Court prepares to open a new building.
