		Cook County government officials fear that, if the PTAB decision becomes a trend, there could be a significant loss of revenue for local governments there.

		With various state and county agencies each having a stake in the outcome, and each having come to the table with a different agenda, there appears to be few options and little room for compromise.

		Geologists are of the opinion that, previous to the glacial epoch, a large portion of the county lay under the waters of Lake Michigan, which was connected with the Mississippi by the Des Plaines River.
		This theory is borne out by the finding of stratified beds of coal and gravel in the eastern and southern portions of the county, either under lying the prairies or assuming the form of ridges.
