Call it bad timing or whatever else you want, Illinois' gas tax hike that goes into effect on July 1st is something you're going to feel if you're doing any traveling over the Independence Day holiday weekend.
Ya know, I got to thinking the other day about how expensive gas is in the country right now. We're all freaking out about it because we're starting to remember when gas used to be CHEAP CHEAP.
Knowing how Illinois ranks poorly on so many lists, it's weird to see us ranked in the top ten of nearly anything. Being recognized for a top ten ranking would be great in many other cases, but getting the attention for high gas prices pretty much sucks.
With gas prices skyrocketing lately, we asked Rockford residents how they're planning on getting to work without getting behind the wheel. The responses may.. shock you!
