With nearly a decade having passed since lawmakers approved Illinois' last major capital program, billions of dollars worth of deferred maintenance has racked up.
The place is really falling apart. Rahm got out just in time.

Because of the pension situation and a judge’s ruling, I wouldn’t be surprised if 95% of the new gas tax goes to pension debt.
That’s what happened with the last income tax increase from 3% to 5%.

I spend $250 a month on my phone.He overspends for a phone so everyone's taxes should go up. Exactly the kind of fiscal genius I want making tax policy.

“I spend $250 a month on my phone. I spend $50 a month for water”
So his conclusion is that everyone should pay a lot more for the roads based on his inability to budget his ridiculous personal behavior. Talk about disconnected from reality. You get the Government you deserve Illinois.

Our commie leaders will learn from the France uprising. Just raise taxes a little at a time. Kinda like cooking a frog.

Illinois pays huge amounts in taxes that go in the pockets of hacks.
Tax dollars go to liberal causes in Chicago as the rest of the state gets squat.
Drive around the southern part of the state that is ignored and see how poorly the roads are cause all the tax money goes for horse crap in the big liberal city.

They need to have checkpoints at the borders to make sure drivers don’t get gas out of state. Amateurs.

"Transportation officials: Illinois gas tax increase is needed..."Of course it is. Also, a 50% increase in income tax would do wonders as well. After all it's working out so well for Macron in France.
