Today’s number: 1.3 cents
Monday, May 11, 2026 - Posted by Rich Miller * Illinois Policy Institute headline…
And then the narration never says what the hike actually is, although an included graph has an answer if you do the math yourself: 1.3 cents. Discuss.

A mere pittance compared to the Trump tax.

Road and Construction Funds at an all time high combined balance of $7 billion and have been trending up even as IDOT spending has also increased.

That’s outrageous. Why, over the course of a year, that will set me back…
*does some math*
…uh, $6.50.
Unacceptable.

I’m sorry — this is added to a doubling of the gas tax and a yearly hike since it was instituted. It’s egregious and it’s unacceptable for the governor to rightly hit trump on hiking the price at the pump when he’s contributing to it.

Typical of Rich to misdirect on the 48 cents per gallon the state is charging when the road fund is flush with cash.

lol
The headline on the IPI story was the tax increase. I poked them for not then saying it was 1.3 cents.
Take a breath.

This is why you cannot operate on the assumption that the IPI is in any way an honest organization.
