Illinois is back but not better

Posted June 29, 2019 1:00 am

Wow, "Illinois is back." Our registration sticker for our cars was once $78, then $101, now pushed up to $155. Gas taxes going up. Renewal of driver's license now doubled. Why are you electing the same Democrats that have gotten this state into the situation, year after year after year?

That is just your car, then you pay the tolls. which were supposed to help out the infrastructure, the roads, bridges etc. Now enter the Illinois Lottery, remember that was going to systematically take care of the schools in Illinois? The public schools in Chicago are the most delinquent in the country. Now enter legal marijuana for recreational use. Now we have drivers not only high, but texting.

J.B. Pritzker signed the recreational marijuana law into effect with the same smirky grin he signed the abortion law into law. Ah, forgot to mention we are a sanctuary state. "Illinois is back" at whose expense?
