Daley tax?

Senate President Emil Jones Jr., a Chicago Democrat, has often quipped that the state should tax the media to balance the budget.

Now he's got a new tax plan.

"We're going to put a tax on the mayor," Jones told reporters as he walked past the pressbox in the Illinois Senate.

This was after Jones said the city of Chicago should have to send money to Springfield to help pay for the rest of the state, a reference (I think) to the city complaining about having to pay millions for a state gambling license under the expansion plan Jones wants.
