Western Illinois State Representative Dan Swanson is critical of Governor J.B Pritzker regarding the Governor's recent comments on gas prices. 

In a discussion with the media earlier this week as the new 19 cents per gallon tax became the law, Governor Pritzker stated that Illinois residents would save money in the long run on gas prices because the infrastructure bill will create safer, more reliable road conditions. Swanson takes issue with that.

The motor fuel tax in Illinois increased by 19 Cents on Monday, July 1st.
