Give Us More Tolls
I continue to be amazed that elected officials in the Fox River Valley want their constituents to be forced to pay more tolls to get to and from work.
How else can one explain why they would now be begging to allow their constituents to pay double for a new bridge across the Fox River.
First, Algonquin. Then, Huntley. Now West Dundee.
If I were a prospective candidate for village office, I would be out gathering petition signatures all summer against this effort to turn the northern Kane County Bolz Road Bridge into a toll bridge.
Other parts of the Illinois are smart enough to get their legislators to provide the money to build needed bridges.
In our part of Illinois, we obviously aren’t.
Governor Rod Blagojevich even intervened to stop talk of a toll bridge across the Mississippi in the St. Louis area.
Motorists will pay the toll when they cross the proposed Northern Kane County bridge, but they will pay a second time every time they fill up their gas tanks.
It’s called Motor Fuel Tax.
More this weekend at McHenry County Blog, including a John Kass-inspired, Bill Cellini friend's connection to Crystal Lake's Vulcan Lakes-Route 14 $120 million Tax Increment Financing District.
