They had "other" and "bigger" purposes in mind.
Especially tough for people who live in rural areas. But, that is what they do...we carry the weight of the cities, in terms of taxes on our shoulders.
Movement tax. Those walking will have the GPS implant/pedometer and be taxed accordingly. /s
The states have become the stomping grounds for socialists.
T.E.A.
Illinois is 100 billion in debt, they are desperate to find new revenue streams.

Scumbags plain and simple
Can’t wait until the first criminal case where someone is convicted for something because their car GPS put them in the vicinity of a crime.
And shot.
This will encourage better management of the public trust and increase the quality of the gene pool.
If everybody rode bicycles there would be no money for roads
They had "other" and "bigger" purposes in mind.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA .
RRRIGGHHHTTT. A handful of all electric cars on the road. Some hybrids that DO USE GAS. But they need to tax EVERY car NOW.
ILLINOIS, LAND OF SUCKERS is what their plates should read.
And they can watch them drive right out of Illinois forever. Illinois is already one of the fastest evacuating states; maybe it will take the lead for good with this.
Af’nmazing......
‘They’ all demand this crap and when it happens, cry about it.
Put in a speed camera and when drivers start observing the posted limit -’they’ cry about no revenue - EVEN though the claim it was for safety, NOT MONEY.
Nothing new, I remember years back when the local Gas or Water or Electric Company pleaded for conservation .... people cut back and the rates got raised for loss of revenue.
Give up your gas guzzlers and get a fuel saving car - then raise rates because of lack of revenue....
Same line with early BO malmisadministration giving the car buyback....All it did was take USED cars off the road and make it harder for those that relied on cheap transportation.
Of course, that was just a money give away...
Then ‘they’ say they can’t understand why I am ‘mad’ and rebellious
Then they should impose this new tax ONLY on electric cars. Gas powered cars are already paying gas taxes.
This completely illustrates that liberalism is a mental illness.
EXPECTED - just surprised it took so long.
Start by warming the pot a bit. 1.5 cents per mile, TODAY, independent of any other factor.
But tomorrow is when the fun begins - now that you’re tracking drivers, you can charge them by WHERE THEY DRIVE, WHEN THEY DRIVE, WHAT THEY DRIVE, and for even more fun, you can make ‘adjust the rate’ to be based on income.
...and don’t laugh, you can almost bet that is right around the corner.
Horseshit. They need the bill because these oafs can't manage tax money, steal it, waste it and give it away for votes to keep them in office.
Should five per cent appear too small Be thankful I don't take it all Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat If you get too cold I'll tax the heat If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet
Taxman! Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
Don't ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson) If you don't want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath) Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Now my advice for those who die Declare the pennies on your eyes Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me Taxman!
The Beatles/George Harrison.
And they overlay the GPS speed measurement and speed limits and start handing out tickets in 3,2,1.
Somebody has to pay the ridiculous pensions of the city employees in Chicago. Might as well be the folks downstate and in the suburbs.
It will not work right but you will have no recourse. Also, ask who will be exempt; listen carefully.
You can thank Obama and the Federal government for this. Such measures would not be necessary, if the Feds weren’t constantly foisting hybrids and electric cars on us through tax incentives.
