Snitch Society: City pays for informing on lawful tax avoiders!
CHICAGO, Illinois - October 27, 2009 - Chicago and Cook County residents aren’t the only ones about to get shocking tax news; the city is debuting a “tax whistle-blower” plan that could turn neighbor against neighbor in Chicago’s business community.
The folks at city hall will pay cash bounties to informants who turn in business tax avoiders around the city. The reward would amount to some sort of percentage of the tax money that the city recovers.
