PUSH FOR SPECIAL SESSION
With gas prices maintaining near-record highs across the Illinois, Republican state Sen. Dave Syverson says state lawmakers should head back to the capitol immediately for a special session to address the situation. In a statement, Syverson said they should pass legislation “to provide real, meaningful relief to consumers.” He’s pushing for capping the sales tax on motor fuel at 18 cents a gallon and a repeal of the looming freeze of the annual gas tax increase of two-cents a gallon that’s been delayed from July 1 to Jan. 1.
