Bradley trustees table new tax proposal
At last night's Bradley Village board meeting, trustees voted to table an ordinance which would create a 5 percent amusement tax on things like admission to the future water park, which Finance Director Rob Romo says is expected to bring in a lot of tourists from outside the village. Romo says the village's goal is to raise revenue for the general fund without hurting Bradley homeowners. Romo added that the tax would be added to customer bills similarly to a sales tax. The ordinance was tabled after trustees voted in favor of further discussion of the potential impacts of the tax. The board will return to the ordinance at a later meeting.
