LIBERTYVILLE - While many people are stressed on tax deadline day, ENAZ On The Park, the trendy women's clothing and jewelry boutique serving all of Lake County from its downtown Libertyville store, is helping its clients keep more money in their wallets by paying their sales tax on purchases they make on April 15.
