Rebuild Illinois Plan from Pritzker

Rebuild Illinois is the branding for a capital plan from Democrat Governor JB Pritzker. 

 

The Governor unveiled the plan Friday to lawmakers it comes with spending and new taxes. Billions of fixes and updates are being called for on horizontal and vertical infrastructure projects. 

 

The draft projects spending $41 billion over six years. It will do so by doubling the motor fuel tax and bumping vehicle registration fees, boosting liquor taxes, altering video gaming taxes and the often sought but never realized tax on cable, satellite and streaming services.

 

This comes at a time when members of the Senate have been talking big about a capital plan of its own.

 

The spring session wraps at the end of May.
