Ill. county considers bullet tax  
Officials in Cook County, Ill., are considering the  
creation of the first bullet tax in the United States.  
Commissioner Roberto Maldonado says he wants to create a  
10-cent per bullet tax to help balance the county's  
$500 million budget deficit, the Chicago Sun-Times  
reported.  Maldonado figures a large part of the county  
medical budget goes for treating gunshot victims,  
WBBM-AM, Chicago, reported.  However, County Board  
President Todd Stroger is on record against new taxes.
