Another victory for the Peoria blogosphere
Two days ago, citizen journalist C.J. Summers blew the lid off how some north Peoria businesses were ripping off customers by charging a tax that didn’t apply. C.,J. found no one at the state of local level really gave a rat’s ass, as long as they got theirs.
Two days later, the Peoria Journal Star has a story about how the City of Peoria decided to make them stop after all. Turns out the State of Illinois screwed up and sent out a misleading letter that convinced these businesses that they had to charge this tax when they really didn’t have to.
So there’s a lot of blame to go around.
