The department said it had paid out refunds to 15,590 entities over the last year, including an estimated 15,170 individuals and 418 business entities.
the refund is such a good example of how insidiously one can make ridiculous public policy seem reasonable. If you can get back a few hundred buck you will almost certainly not both to file for a refund, but if you are a bussiness which drives a lot you are definitely filing for a refund. The more you use roads the more incentivized you are to not pay for them Its crazy upside down world and Its clearly a way to allow the heaviest road users an avenue to avoid funding the public infrastructure they use.quincunx wrote: ↑Jul 02, 2024MO gas tax went up 2.5 cents today. Will you take the time to get your refund this year? You might get $10s of dollars back, totally worth your time.
IL gas tax went up 2 cents today since it goes up with inflation. Smart policy, though CPI and road building costs inflation aren't the same, but better than nothing. KSDK did a story on new IL laws that included many whiney drivers . Maybe someday they'll ask why they have to drive so much.
