Griffin: How DuPage County population growth could hurt Cook County | |
October 08, 2014 When the population of DuPage County hits 1 million, it could cost Cook County upward of $45 million. That's because the state's motor fuel tax law grants counties with more than 1 million residents a significant percentage of the more than $1 billion in annual revenue generated by the tax. That's just one of more than three dozen state laws that will change for DuPage County once it hits a population benchmark now only exceeded by Cook County.
