Several Illinois communities are considering enacting the harmful "Push Tax" tomorrow in special meetings. We are asking anyone who can attend any of these meetings to go and urge these communities to reject more taxes on local businesses.

Thanks to Nick Bean, owner of Fritz Saloon, and Kevin Schuster, owner of Midtown Wine Bar, for speaking out against the Push Tax in Manhattan, IL. As a result of their efforts as all as the other licensed establishments in Manhattan, the Push Tax did not pass. Great Job!

SMSIL was at the Illinois Municipal League Conference in Chicago this week in an effort to educate municipal leaders on the harmful effects of the "Push Tax" on local businesses. We handed out numerous fliers and had some good discussions with mayors from across the state.
