800 Solar Projects Waitlisted Across Illinois Because Of The Renewable Funding Cliff
Thursday, May 16, 2019 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] More than 800 solar energy projects are on hold because Illinois’ renewable energy program isn’t adequately funded to meet either current demand or the statutory renewable portfolio standard requirement of 25% by 2025. The waitlisted, shovel-ready projects could create thousands of jobs, lower consumer electric bills and generate $220 million in property tax revenue for local governments. Funding for new commercial and community solar projects and wind farms will be depleted after 2019. To see projects on the waitlist in your community – visit www.pathto100.net/waitlist  Without a fix to the state’s renewable energy program, waitlisted projects may not be built. Vote YES on HB 2966/SB 1781 to fix Illinois’ clean energy cliff and let shovel-ready projects move forward. For more information, please visit pathto100.net

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.
