A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

If JB and Democrats would stop stealing the gas tax money, a mileage tax wouldn’t be necessary. The Democrats will probably steal the mileage tax to fund left priorities.
A mileage tax AND sales tax on gas plus tolls? The ACLU would likely object to devices on cars much like they do license plate readers leading to misuse of data by law enforcement. Who will pay the mileage fee for cars driven while stolen 😎
The ACLU won’t care as long as the government is the one collecting the data to charge citizens $$$. Look at all the plate readers on the toll roads that were paid for years ago….and speaking of toll roads will the mileage tax eliminate those?
