I voted for RAUNER. He was anything but perfect but he was still a damn sight better than this clown J B PRITZKER.
Obviously my vote meant nothing. PRITZKER the tax cheat got elected anyway.
People of Illinois, you’ve brought all of this on yourselves.
God help us all and protect our pensions.
Retired Ol’ Sixgun Sarge
Keep voting DemocRAT, for higher taxes.
I went to Indiana this morning
Taxes are going up, the number of abortions is going up, marijuana use is going up! Away we Goooooo......Jay Beeee.
Indiana here they come... not worth the trip to Kenosha. 4-5 tolls will kill any savings on gas. I remember when kids used to steal/syphon gas with rubber hoses. Are we gonna return to those days? Thanks taxman!
Thanks JB, you fucking jagoff
Such a deal.
How many roads will get paved?
I'm just glad I have the money to pay my taxes and do good for the community at large.
I'm sure that the elected officials know best how to spend my hard earned dollars.
We all get another pay cut with the new tax increase; crooks in Office just got a raise. Roads won't improve and new revenue will be stolen.
When will the tollways revert to freeways as per the original Plan foisted on us suckers?
was this voted on? Contact your state rep,let them know of your disgust towards " taxation without representation."
Glad we moved out of Illinois when we retired from the CPD!!
Jelly belly JB and stone face madigan are drooling all over themselves. More pie to divy up with all the fat cats. Infrastructure rebuild contracts to mobbed up "friends of ours" who generously kick back to the 2 big whales and all their hoodlum friends.
I wish I can demand my employer to give me a raise because I did not spend my money wisely. We are their piggy bank/ATM.
I loathed RINO Rauner, but he blocked the uncontrolled spending. I voted for him.
But voters didn’t like that. They would rather have unbalanced budgets with out of control spending. They’ve got that now. But if you read leftist blogs like Politico or Madigan fanboy site Capitol Fax, everything is looking up.
Was recently in Tennessee for a trip paid 2.20 for gas, hit Illinois, not even cook county, 2.75 per gallon. Now it would be near 3.00 on Monday. Screw that! Weekly trip to Indiana for groceries and gas is a must do now!
People love paying taxes. The democrats even run on raising taxes and get votes. Go figure
Corruption is expensive.
Democrats are very good at spending other people’s money and bribing their voters with free stuff who are dependent on government and plays the role of mommy and daddy to the illegals.The legal poor are getting ripped off of their fair share of freebies.No entry level jobs for legal citizens of this wonderful city and state.
In the not too distant future I'll be leaving this FU State as well and taking all my tax revenue with me. F this city and State!

Hahahaahaha
Thank You governor JB for that funny message above
Now if you can remember ever driving your own car and filling up at the gas pump and spending all the money you made at a side job let me know
Don't you just love those Democrats? They won't be happy until they have all your money. But then you will qualify for all the FREE shit too.
Drive up 41 to Kenosha no tolls.
I am sure all the illegal getting FREE medical and College tuition thank you. Oh that's on top of Free food Free housing Free spending money and Free phones. So just in case the illegal community forgot to say thanks I will do it for them. Thanks suckers!
Use the GasBuddy app
Bet the pot holes will be just as bad next winter. 43 Billion doesn't go as far anymore. They will need more next year so time for another tax hike or lots of new taxes. The Exodus permit for leaving the state will be number one on Faso's hit list. Sell your Illinois home and fail to by another Illinois property automatic 10% tax on total sale price.
owe, Indiana and Wisconsin are about to experience a windfall in new business. It won't be just gas and cigarettes, but beer wine and groceries and clothing. Once they fine out how pleasant shopping out of state can be they won't be spending their money in Illinois. Of course the midget minded legislatures calculated that into their lofty new revenue projections. NOT. There are about to be a new wave of convince store deserts. No where to by the Flaming bots and grape pop. LOL.
I agree, When some asshole starts bitching about J B Jackoffs gas tax, Ask they how they voted!
On a fill-up of 13 gallons the increase will be $2.50.
We should all demand the voting machines, etc are tested and voter registration verified. No one voted for this buffoon. (Except lake fron libs) They've somehow cheated.
#$===÷#/^_%==^&££¥*%=÷$&£¥£%÷×÷%€*
I travel 10 miles just to shop outside the city for obvious reasons.
This state sucks.
I guess somebody has to pay for all the rainbows
Anyone have pictures of fat ass in his huge SUV and security detail, wherever he goes! How many miles per tax dollars are we paying?
Fat jagoff that never worked a day in his life don't know what it means to struggle financially. Thanks to all those that voted for him (fools)
Speaking of roads getting paved now, can anyone tell me why they are paving I94 up near Deerfield other than the owner of the paving company being connected? That road was fine, nothing wrong with it. So why the huge traffic tie ups , the increased travel times?
Also the new casinos can now be opened. Wonder where they are all going? The new law allows temporary ones for up to 2 years....until they can build the real ones. This will be interesting..deals are already being made.
Time to go fill up the gas tank and buy more cigarettes today.
I have locking gas caps for sale that I have been saving from the 70s. If you are a registered republican - $10. If you are a registered democratic-$100. I know you feel good paying your fair share.
Voted straight Republican. No use for this nonsense that I have seen over the years. I to, wonder how many roads will be paved with all that money that is being taken from us. From here on out I work at getting the hell out of this state. Indiana is looking better and better these days.
Time for shopping suggestions in Wisconsin,Indiana,,$1 a pack new tax on cigarettes????,, useless dimms.. toilet seat jabba prizker? where are the spending
cuts?
Springfield,Chicago democrats shelved property tax reforms , caps,bend over.. license renewals jumped.....lol ..bankrupt Illinois,
This with lightfoot taxes to close $$$$$$$$ 800 million Rahm Chicago budget gap... yet to come
Went to Wisconsin with the family for the day yesterday, God do I hate this state.
Tuen off the lights when leaving this shithole
This will make the poverty areas like “the community” more poverty stricken.
Will violence then increase?
Thank a Democrat they went to far this time maybe a backlash next election!
38 cents that’s a pretty substantial gas tax, but know matter where you live they’re going up. The state I retired to just went up a penny and I just have to live with it, but it helps knowing yours doubled.
problem with elections is that over 1/2 the registered voters do not vote .
Lori and Toni ended up in run off with less than 15% of 33% of eligible voters .
Lori won because she was less evil of the two top runners in a 16 person primary.
ask how they voted , over 1/2 did not vote , the dead , illegals and hard core dummyrats just vote a straight ticket . They believed only millionaires would be taxed . Never going to happen .
Sanctuary First.
If you’ve seen the photo-op of that smiling hog-jowled Pigzter signing that bill doesn’t work your last tax strapped nerve, it should be good for re-election time commercials.
He gleefully done the Madigan deed.
Nobody else would, Blago didn’t, nor Quinn and not Rauner was going to do it.
I think JBToilets is just a one term set up man for Juliana Stratton who’s just idling in wait for the baton and might be sooner than you think.
Bye - bye Miss American Pie...
If I had a Indiana Gas Station/Quick Shop I would print a big banner thanking JB for all the new Business
Indianapolis Blvd. being resurfaced just on time for a nice smooth ride to Indiana for all of your necessities. Thanks Street’s & San.
Didn't vote for this hog. All of you who did thanks a lot. Another overtaxing governor. Give money who people who don't belong here or all the lazy welfare receipiants in this state. Meanwhile bleeding the middle class to pay for it all. Why is no one accountability in government office? I'm so glad I have moved my family out of this state.
the moronic scum that voted for J B is are costing us more and more. gas tax doubled, $151 for a license plate sticker for regular vehicles, and auto insurance rates will go up due to recreational pot. I hope the feds gets J.B a.s.a.p.

All of them...that alderclowns, mayor munchkin, state legisthievers and J.B. The Hutt use on a regular basis.
The other 100,000 miles that only the peons use? Fuck no.

legalized pot smoking has not started
Always remember the TAXING Democratic Party. They are the party that is concerned about the middle classes need. 38 cent a gallon tax on gasoline plus sales tax. TAXATION!
Blago upgraded the tollways........and went prison. George Ryan gave us his Build Illinois Program........and went to prison. Pritzger has given us The BIG GAS Tax and Yerba for everyone............Guess what’s coming J.B.
Indiana here they come... not worth the trip to Kenosha. 4-5 tolls will kill any savings on gas. I remember when kids used to steal/syphon gas with rubber hoses. Are we gonna return to those days? Thanks taxman!
--------
Make a day of it-- take IL41, not I94 --no tolls. 94 takes you back West out of your way and you only save 10-15 minutes. We are (albeit) slowly, becoming like I remember Canadians up along the Michigan border 30 years ago. Filling up 2 or 3 5 gallon gas cans in their trunk, buying other stuff in the US because it was cheaper and the sizes were larger.
Something was really a pound, not 14.55oz or 183.4425 Grams. Latest shrinkage I've seen around here is ice (again). 22lb bag is now 20lbs, although the little bags are still 7lbs.
No roads paved - money will go into politicians pockets or pet projects for re-election. 15 minutes to Indiana for me until I move!
Such a deal.

Lets start with Austin ave. Say, from Madison to Foster. I expect to see cones out there Tuesday.....Refuse to take that street N/B from work on the Westside. Total disaster.

Notice to Retirees:
It’s the last day to file those PABFP Affidavits (Proof of Living).
Who still gets anything worthwhile in the snail mail these days when email should be an preferable option for a 21st century global city?
Anyway, failure to return the notarized form will result in benefit suspension.
I assume this suspension of benefits will not be arbitrary and without due process, of course.
Just wait till next year! Your license plate sticker price is DOUBLING. I paid 108.00 for mine recently, next year it will be 208.00. Don't blame me, I didn't vote for the jaggoff. Newly retired,just put my house on the market. Moving to a tax friendly state, meaning a Red State. This place is SHOT!
Money used to fix the roads. But who will be able to afford the gas to drive?

***ROADS?? you mean POCKETS..
We were already paying 16cents a gallon to fix the roads and bridges and nothing ever got fixed. More for Madigan to steal.
The Illinois gas tax has not gone up since 1990. 29 years! Put the blame on Fred Flintstone (JB) if you want. But everyone before him has blood on their hands also. Just like putting off house repairs, pay now or pay later. Again, 29 years! Think about that.
pure michigan here i come 1 more year
also a big f-ckyou barack reic holder, lorreta lynch and pat phil
38 cent "EACH" gallon!!!
The asshat media keep saying 18 cent.
so every 10 gallon is 3.80 in TAXES.
FOP i hope you are taking notes for those pay cut GROOT was pondering.
buckle up for more and more taxes. The democrats, to include Lightfoot, are already talking about taxing pensions once the new tax law is passed. Yes, they want to tax pensions to pay for, wait for it...the pension debt. So, you will take a haircut on your pension to pay off the pension debt that the democrats failed to budget for. I did not vite for JB, although I thought Rauner could have done a better job.
I live near O'hare, I used to shop at the Costco in Niles, I now drive to the Costco in lake County I 94 and route 60, 20 minute drive, Gas is 35 cents a gallon cheaper, No Alcohol tax and 7% tax on none food items.I save 30 bucks on 300 spent.
We now pay taxes on on line purchases, Thats worth a Billion in Revenue to the State,Crickets.

Understand this about Dem politicians. Common citizens are nothing more than a resource to be mined. Certain gullible communities are mined for votes. Others are mined for their money.
Obedience to Madigan (may the Big H come soon) is everything. Acting in the best interest of all citizens and the state as a whole does not appear on the list.
The best resolution each citizen in this state could make right now is to refuse to vote D for as long as it takes for the mess to be cleaned up.
Well this is going to hurt. My 26 gallon vehicle is going to cost me plenty. Plus fill up every 10 days

I for one am not going to do any of the above. Make. a day of it? Right to fill up a tank and put 2 5 gallon tanks in my trunk. Are you kidding me. 19 cent a gallon additional tax so I save 95 cent a 5 gallon can and $3.00 for a tank fillup. So for $5.00 I’m going to make a day of it, drive to Indiana and smell up my car. Not going to happen
Get ready to Pay And Pay And PAY!!!!!!
the new fees taxes and Half a Pension
Enjoy Your CLOUT!!!
The Illinois gas tax has not gone up since 1990. 29 years!
Right and payments to our Pension?????
No more gas in IL

What I am thinking is - why start with a regressive tax that will mostly hurt people Jabba purportedly came to protect? Why does Republican Michigan has the price of car registration tied to the value of the vehicle, and Democratic Illinois charges the same $100 for 1990 Ford Escort and 2019 Bentley?
Gas tax hadn’t been raised in 25 years, fell behind inflation and our roads were underfunded and repairs lagging. You either get to complain about bad roads and deficits, or you pay the taxes needed to fund what you use. The people of this state voted in the representatives who won’t lie to you and say they can fix everything without spending. Rauner campaigned on fixing by cutting - and he did cut, but nothing improved. Now he’s out, adults are back at the wheel, and you need to pay for the services you want.
Adjusted for inflation, the average taxes pay per person in this state are still lower than the 1950s
There has also been proposals in Congress to raise the Federal gas tax to repair the roads.

So where does the millions and millions of tollway dollars go? Wasn’t that said to be a temporary thing? Lying stealing snakes
Illinois as well as Chicago are billions and billions of dollars in the red. Let that sink in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Illinois is one fucked up state as Chicago is one fucked up city. Keep voting democratic, you fools !!!!!!!!!!!

That's fine, some of us enjoy getting out of the city for a while. No tolls, less gas tax, less sales tax,(5.5, not 10.25), no tax on groceries, and fewer Amish to deal with. You can stay here and pay up.
Just remember, it’s for the children.
Whoever commented “taxation without representation” needs to understand that in our system of government, you elect representatives to make the decisions. That’s the representation part.
The gas tax in Pennsylvania is 68 cents per gallon. Illinois isn’t even in the top ten highest gas tax states. IL didn’t raise gas tax for 25 years. This is what happens.
No worries, we will still give TVDL’s to illegal migrants so they can drive, even though they shouldn’t legally be in this country. Hopefully they are buying lots of gas with their purple licenses. I tow every one I can. Call me a jerk, “they’re just trying to get to work.” Fuck that. They are parasites, sucking our country dry by taking every freebie they can - in the schools, in the hospitals. I watch them get free cancer treatment. Funny, my parents had to pay for theirs, until they finally ran out of money and died.
This city, county, and state suck.

Rauner didn't pass the budget that was given to him. Do you know why?
Spending more than you take in isn't a budget.
You asked for fatty and now you got him.
Quit trying to justify your stupidity.

People like you are exactly why we are at the point we are. Just keep taking in the shorts dummy. Please sir may I have another.
To all the geniuses saying taxes haven’t gone up since 1990, you do understand the tax is percentage based and not a fee? 14% of $1.20 is a different number than 14% of 3 dollars? Gas was $4 just A few years ago. This money will be pissed away on paybacks and special interest groups.

——————
Kingery/ Route 83 south of Cermak and Ogden - same thing - lanes blocked for miles for repairs but road was in excellent condition - makes NO sense other than pissing tax $$$$ to contractor friends.
"...The latest shrinkage I see around here is with ice..."
Ice causes shrinkage on me also cutie.I
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Rauner couldn’t get much done due to the Demorats gridlocking Springfield. That’s fact. Now also as a small business owner I plan on charging customers more due this gas tax . This tax is far more reaching than most of you know. Every item and service will be affected. Pos governor never had a job in his life.
Rauner couldn’t get a budget passed because he couldn’t make sense of one. I, for one, am happy that “fatty” is getting the money necessary to fix the roads.
To the one who asked about where the millions of tollway dollars go - that’s the thing about tollways, they don’t find local roads, they pay only for the roadways on which they are collecting fees (usually INTERstates -meaning they are federally managed). And part of those fees go to pay back the investors who fronted the money for construction or repairs. This is all part of privatized investment in infrastructure. You either pay for the roads in taxes, or per-use fees (which also owe a profit back to the investors).

No. State gas tax was flat, 19 cents per gallon. Which, considering the fact that throughout the nineties gas cost $1.10-1.20, was a fucking robbery. Now they doubled it to 38 cents.

Dude, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It wasn’t a % of fuel cost, it was $.19 per gallon - regardless of what rate you pay at the pump. Now its $.38
Stick to your lane
JB the Hutt - my ass hurts. Please stop sticking it up there. Stop with the BS taxes.! I know ... I know ... you never worked ONE fucking day in your life and cannot relate to average folk who were not born with a trust fund as big as your ass. I think you do understand how hard your fucking taxes are for the average Joe or Jane .... you just don’t give one flying fuck. You FAT slob.
In the nineties - that .19 equates to roughly 15% tax on fuel.
The .38 on a $3.60 gallon of gas is about a 10% tax, and that % drops as the price goes up.
We are paying lower tax rates on our gas today. What’s the problem here?
Boy Scout Road opens back up on July 3rd. It will be much easier to go to Indiana and get gas and groceries now.
I filled up my car last week at $3.19 a gallon in Park Ridge. Today gas in Wisconsin is $2.79 a gallon. Here it’s $3.38 a gallon. That’s just a State Tax increase, the city and county can raise theirs as well by 3 and 6 percent per gallon. The total taxes we pay per gallon is about 50 cents per gallon regardless of the price of gas per gallon.
thanks DemoCommunist Politicians and their supporters. Why is everything costing you more ? Because you voted for them , and you're Stupid....
