Double Trouble: RTA Tax and Electric Rate Increases

💰 Double Trouble: RTA Tax and Electric Rate Hikes 💰, Late Night Veto Session Nonsense

Illinois families are already struggling to make ends meet — and now Springfield Democrats are coming for even more of your hard-earned money. On Halloween Eve Eve, they passed an $8 billion electric rate hike, and now they’re pushing a $1.9 billion RTA Tax Grab to bail out Chicago’s failing transit system. No reform. No accountability. Just more pain for taxpayers.

Their plan slaps new taxes on Netflix, live events, and even unrealized investment gains — all while hiking the RTA sales tax and expanding fines.

It’s time to say enough is enough. We need reform and accountability, not more burdens on Illinois families.


🚨 STOP THE $1.9 BILLION RTA TAX GRAB! 🚨

Illinois families are already stretched thin — but Springfield Democrats want another $1.9 billion from your pocket to bail out the failing Regional Transportation Authority.

No reform. No accountability. Just another massive tax hike that would:

 ❌ Slap a 7% tax on Netflix and live events

 ❌ Hike the RTA sales tax

 ❌ Tax unrealized investment gains

 ❌ Expand speed camera fines

 ❌ Add $5 per ticket at your favorite entertainment venues

Enough is enough. We need reform and efficiency, not higher taxes. Join me in saying NO to the RTA Tax Grab.

🎃 Trick, No Treat— Democrats Just Hit You with an $8 Billion Electric Rate Hike

On the night before the adjournment of the 2025 legislative session, House Democrats rammed through SB 25, yet another energy bill claiming to fix Illinois’ broken energy policy. 

SB 25 is just another flawed green energy fantasy that Illinois ratepayers are all too familiar with, claiming to lower costs, but instead will only continue to raise them on hardworking Illinois families and businesses.
