The tax now has been challenged in court.

Illinois drivers have only a short window to comment on a $26.5 billion capital plan that includes the largest passenger tollway hike in state history.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker and state lawmakers have increased lawmaker pay while approving budgets that raised taxes on Illinoisans.

Lawmakers demand honest pricing from businesses but fail to acknowledge poor budgeting practices on their end.

The governor said Illinoisans wouldn’t be interested in a toll increase to keep the Bears. Then he signaled support for what would be the largest passenger toll hike in state history.

The proposal would raise tolls Jan. 1, with inflation-linked increases every two years after that.
