Is your mind boggled because you don't understand the history of it? That it was signed into law in 2019 (long before Trump got Iran to close Hormuz) with automatic tax increases to keep up with inflation?
Dang, why didn't JB know 8 years ago that Trump was going to invade Iran?!

Talk to Trump if you're mad about high gas prices.

Searching “Pritzker” was a lot quicker than it took you to write this post. There’s a lesson in there, you might want to look something up before you assign blame based on your believies.

The Illinois gas tax was $.19 per gallon in 1990. That's $.5 per gallon in 2026, adjusted for inflation. Blaming current prices on Pritzker, who took office in 2019, is pretty sus.

Especially since OP even admits the increase is due to a law signed in 2018

All of the States are filling up their budget holes with the windfall income from high gas prices. Not one is seriously moving to reduce their take.

Pritzker was on the board of AIPAC. He’s the other side of the same coin!

Like 90 percent of Congress is funded by AIPAC!!!! And those who oppose receive predatory challenges!
