The Main Stream media doesn’t seem to do math very well.
WMAQ-TV ran a story on the effect of the Democrats’ biggest tax hike bill this year and noted that trucks will see a “staggering 30%” increase.
For the passenger vehicle side of the hike, here is what NBC wrote:
“Under the proposed increase, which raises tolls for passenger vehicles $0.45, a trip to O’Hare on the Tri-State Tollway would cost $1.20. The current cost is $0.75.”
Here is a more accurate representation from State Rep. Jeff Keicher:
So, it’s significant that commercial vehicles will pay 30% more, but a 60% hike for passenger vehicles dare not be mentioned.
