$200 a year for the privilege of working in Chicago. HA

Ald. George Cardenas (12th) proposes that commuters begin paying $200 annually. That way, he says, they would help pick up the tab for streets and rail lines that they use.

LOL, aren't the tolls I pay to get to work supposed to cover the streets? And why are they doing construction in the exact same stretches of road as a few months ago?

Take the tolls down and I'll gladly pay the $200 up front. It'll save me money.

That's pretty cool. I know my prop tax bill just about doubled!

And good luck fighting it if you do. You have to go through hell on earth to prove the raise is bullshit.

I could have sworn the toll roads were sold off long ago to private companies.

Over a billion is collected annually, yes billion...over half of which is in some fund entitled depreciation.

Which is most likely a slush fund.
