Description: It's Halloween Eve on the Ray Stevens Show! 2nd Ward Alderman Brian Hopkins joins Ray Stevens to blast Mayor Johnson's proposed head tax and the devastating effect it will have on businesses and explain how this budget is the most socialist action that the Mayor has taken thus far. It’s been 122 days since June 30 when the tax bills, by state statute, should’ve been mailed. David Hochberg joins Ray to take Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle to task and explain how hard these late tax bills could hit families when they finally arrive. Illinois House Minority Leader Rep. Tony McCombie joins The Ray Stevens Show to break down a proposed transit funding bill aimed at closing a massive budget gap for the CTA, Metra, and Pace by levying even more taxes on billionaires, making concert tickets and streaming more expensive, and tapping into red light camera revenue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
