starting july 1st the state gas tax here in illinois will double from $.19 p/g to $.38 p/g. our ethically challenged governor says its needed for capital road and transportation projects but hasn't promised that 100% of the tax will actually go to those projects. he also wants to change the flat income tax to a graduated system he says will affect only the rich but he won't agree to freeze the rates. that's 'sposed to be used to pay down bills but no mention of paying down our debt. in fact new spending is being touted. license plate fees going up, too. amid all of this no mention of cutting spending and waste.
