You can thank the Davis-Bacon act for the poor roads. Taxes are a very broad subject, some are under taxes, some are over taxes. I generally find the folks who think its a fair system reap far more of the rewards from it. I’m way overtaxed, can’t do it now but definitely look forward to the day IL is in my rearview mirror. The roads outside of Chicago and Cook County aren’t bad, but we pay for it. Near $100 in tolls per month and they just tacked on another 19cents or so per gallon of gas.
