RTA accuses United, American of running 'sham' to avoid taxes

[Ringel05]

The Regional Transportation Authority is accusing United Airlines and American Airlines with running "sham business operations" that have deprived Chicago and Cook County taxpayers and public transportation agencies of nearly $300 million over the last seven years, the agency said today.

Honestly, if the RTA wants to stop the practice they need to lobby the state to change the tax codes. State tax auditors have already investigated and found the airlines in compliance with state tax laws.
