The Chicago-area’s penny-per-ounce tax on soda and sugary drinks expires Friday. The Cook County Board voted 15-2 in October to end the tax, just more than two months after it took effect.

The tax passed last year when Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle cast the deciding vote after commissioners deadlocked. The repeal of the tax left an approximate $200 million budget hole. County commissioners last month approved a $5.2 billion budget that included about 300 job cuts.
