When will the money that’s in the so called “lock box” from increased gas and license tax’s for roads be “diverted” to try to balance the budget? Somewhere between the lines there is probably some obscure language that gives emergency powers to tap into it. Of course someone would have to travel to the Cayman Islands to retrieve the money!

The governor is the nightmare. See him on the tv –the channel gets turned.
He spews lies and he seems to care nothing about Illinois.
He wants to be in the 2024 election. He is concerned about the wider picture.
