From the Illinois Municipal League comes this information about which cities and villages have voted to replace the state’s grocery tax:

  • Algonquin
  • Bull Valley
  • Cary
  • Crystal Lake
  • Fox River Grove
  • Harvard
  • Hebron
  • Huntley
  • Island Lake
  • Johnsburg
  • Lake in the Hills
  • Lakemoor
  • Marengo
  • McCullom Lake
  • McHenry
  • Port Barrington
  • Prairie Grove
  • Ringwood
  • Wonder Lake
  • Woodstock

The only municipalities I see who have not decided to raise local taxes are Lakewood, Richmond, Spring Grove and Union.

From a public finance point of view, those who spend the money should be responsible for levying the taxes
