Column: State giving drivers a break by skipping fuel-tax hike – Champaign News-Gazette*

Jim Dey: "Illinois taxpayers will be getting a small break: Gas taxes will not automatically go up on Jan. 1. Instead, the rate will remain at 48.3 cents per gallon through June 30, 2026. That’s a change in the state policy of automatic gas-tax hikes twice a year, Jan. 1 and July 1."

The State sticks it up the tax payer’s rear every single chance they get. Nothing the Illinois state government has done in the years has provided any benefit to the average tax paying resident. This stunt lets the government make a statement like they have our interests in mind…they plaster it in the press…and believe they’ve done us all a great favor. Hey, I’ll take it…it’s more than we normally get.

Any bets that the tax will increase enough next time to jolly St. Pritzger’s largesse?

Yes but they just stuck the people that use the tollway and NOT the people using public transit with a 1.5 BILLION dollar increase
