Receipt
Thursday, May 16, 2019 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Illinoisans already pay the nation’s 10th-highest gas tax burden. A look at the hidden layers of taxes and fees in the typical Chicago gas tax receipt shows why. Under a proposal to hike the state motor fuel tax to 44 cents per gallon, Chicagoans would pay a whopping $15.30 in total taxes and fees on 15 gallons of gas. Unfortunately, discussions in Springfield surrounding a new capital bill have centered around making this receipt even uglier for drivers statewide. Instead of hiking taxes and fees to finance a rushed capital bill, the Illinois Policy Institute today released a smarter roadmap for state lawmakers: an evidenced-based, $10 billion capital plan without any tax or fee hikes.
