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.
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
Oh. We’ll be reminded come election time as how the dems get not only the grocery tax but this fuel tax because they are such great ,kind fellows
