Illinois taxpayers are about to get hit again.
The Illinois Tollway is proposing about 45¢ extra per toll starting January 2027. First passenger increase since 2012. Commercial vehicles get slammed with a 30% hike.
Pritzker already raised gas taxes with automatic annual increases built in, conveniently paused during election years. Now tolls get their turn too.
All to fund their $26.5B “Driving Connections” plan through 2042. More increases every two years after that.
Pritzker never met a tax hike he didn’t like.
But don’t worry, the budget is balanced.
There are two privileges that matter more than any others:
American privilege and parent privilege.
American privilege is being born in a country where freedom, opportunity, and hard work can still change your life.
Parent privilege is growing up in a home with a mother and father who love you, guide you, hold you accountable, and teach you the values that make success possible.
Neither guarantees an easy life.
But together, they create extraordinary opportunities.
Strong families build strong children.
Strong children build strong communities.
Strong communities build a strong America.
We need more of that, not less. 🇺🇸
I went back to the Tijuana River in San Diego County.
Raw sewage and toxic waste STILL flowing freely into our state from Mexico. Gavin Newsom has STILL not declared a state of emergency, as local leaders demand.
It is completely unacceptable. As governor I WILL declare a state of emergency so we can bring an end to this scandal.
"We are just simply telling Barack Obama, the Foundation, the general contractor, and their Lakeside Alliance partners to pay these contractors so that they can go on with their lives."
President of the African American Contractors Association Omar Shareef demands answers regarding the Obama Center construction disaster.
Gavin Newsom wants you to think Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against him cuz he's running for president
Get real! Probes into Newsom, his wife & his staff started under BIDEN and from DEMOCRATIC whistleblowers
He's blaming Trump for his own crimes. Don't let him play the victim
“The library was $500 million over budget and five years behind schedule. I've seen airports that are more attractive.”
Rob Finnerty took a closer look at former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago, examining the hiring of minority contractors as well as the project’s delays and cost overruns. @RobFinnertyUSA
🚨 @dbongino's chilling warning:
"Something else is going to happen. If this is the last show I do, I just want it on the record: I was on the right side of this."
Secretary @Giannoulias , your rhetoric about data and information rings hollow when your office refuses to confront evidence of dangerous failures on Illinois roads.
Katie is dead after being killed by an undocumented immigrant who held an Illinois driver's license despite serious background issues, language and identification concerns.
You speak about the importance of information while ignoring the consequences of your own policies.
The disconnect is staggering.
You can't champion data while dismissing evidence that challenges your narrative. That level of disconnect should concern every Illinoisan.
We sacrificed to teach our children the rules of the road and the importance of being responsible behind the wheel, only to lose Katie to someone who never should have been in our state, let alone on our roads.
@SecDuffy and @TheJusticeDept should investigate credentialing practices at the Illinois DMV.
Angel Father Joe Abraham, who lost his daughter Katie due to Pritzker and the Illinois Democrats dangerous policies protecting ILLEGAL ALIENS, and State Senator Chapin Rose called on the Illinois Democrat controlled legislature to pass SB4196 to amend the TRUST ACT
The TRUST ACT was passed in 2017 under Bruce Rainer’s administration and resulted in Illinois becoming a sanctuary state
Then in 2021 Illinois passed the WAY FORWARD ACT which limits sheriff’s’ involvement in civil immigration enforcement and provides for additional protection for ILLEGAL ALIENS and immigrant communities
The Democrats Super Majority in both the Illinois House and Senate consistently block any bills to amend or repeal the TRUST ACT never allowing such to reach the floor for a vote
Joe Abraham’s and Chapin Rose’s SB4196 is no exception. The bill has not been assigned to a committee meaning it is unlikely to move forward due to the Democrats super majority
The focus is on Pritzker for refusing to repeal the TRUST or WAY FORWARD ACTS but an equal amount of blame should be placed on the Illinois Democrat controlled legislature
If Pritzker isn’t defeated and the Blue dots turned to Red in the November general election, NOTHING CHANGES IN ILLINOIS
