"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.

I read somewhere that a politician complained “we have so many more cars on the road we need to increase the gas tax”

Question: If there are so many more cars on the road aren’t they already collecting a lot more tax money? Extra cars means more gallons of gas used that is taxed.
