Reducing gas tax, prepping for future shortfalls among late budget sticking points – Capitol News IL

The budget became more complicated earlier this month when analysts for the General Assembly and Gov. JB Pritzker’s budget office lowered revenue projections for the upcoming fiscal year that begins July 1. The revisions by the governor’s office revealed a $149 million gap between what Pritzker proposed spending and the amount of revenue the state will have to support it — and that includes $728 million in new taxes and revenue changes proposed by the governor.

Fuel taxes are for transportation. RTA is transportation. Nothing was stolen. Yes, it’s traditionally been used for roads but clearly they can use it for other transportation related expenditures. So no, the budget won’t be “paying back” funds that were used for other items covered in transportation.
