If Illinois gas stations are forced to post signs giving lawmakers credit for a temporary suspension of a portion of the state’s gas tax, a trade group says they’ll post that… and a whole lot more.
The Illinois Fuel and Retail Association has gone to court to block the state requirement that gas stations post signs stating that the legislature suspended a gas tax increase through December 31, 2022.
But the group says if the court does not strike down that requirement, it will provide signs to all gas stations stating that lawmakers have doubled the gas tax since 2019… creating the second-highest gas tax in the nation… and relegating the required language to a corner of that sign.
