The answer is YES! First, they raised out sales tax, utility tax and gas tax to the top 3 highest in the nation. Then they raise the income tax to the top five highest on the middle class (yes some are higher, like CA goes to 10%, but on $1 million and up, in IL you could make $10K a year and get taxed at 5%). Then they raised out corporate tax to the HIGHEST IN THE WORLD. Now they want to raise our tolls, DOUBLE OUR TOLLS!!! Note: Going from the burbs to the city and you can go through as many as 6 tolls!!!
The tolls were started as a TEMPORARY program to pay for the building of the highways. Then Blago raised the rates on all non-IPASS users, with the quote, "This is to encourage IPASS usage and WILL NOT be used a a means to raise tolls overall!"
What 3 years later tolls are GOING UP on everyone! If only my wife would allow me and pick up the family and move to TX or AZ like I want to!!!
