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.
More tolls (or taxes) means more control. They can lower tolls for electric cars, cars with multiple occupants, cars with Democrat bumper stickers, cars driving during off-peak hours, or however they want to force submission

You pay to own your own home. Why not roads too?
Maybe make the “managed lanes” lined w bulletproof panels?
One thing I miss about Michigan is that there isn’t a toll road in the whole state. Gas is cheaper too.
‘Adding’ lanes….hmm…not converting or repurposing existing lanes, but adding lanes. Hundreds of miles of new lanes…..decades long projects……union labor, prevailing wages, higher taxes…..all of that infrastructure money has to be spent somewhere!
I think it’s a great idea! Make it really, really expensive too. Give the people a little incentive to participate. No speed limit.
This is just a woke left anti-car plan to induce gridlock so people will take public transit. I know that sounds stupid, but that’s how SJWs think.
