Mayor Rahm Emanuel calls for state gas tax increase of 20 to 30 cents per gallon to fund major transportation bill

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday called for a 20 to 30 cent per gallon increase in the state’s gas tax to fund a major statewide transportation bill.

Emanuel made the push during a City Hall news conference in which he was joined by members of the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, an organization that represents the Chicago region’s 275 cities, towns and villages.

Taxes are never high enough in Chicago.
