New Illinois law forces gas stations to campaign for Pritzker

The content of the signs isn’t quite as important as the message being delivered to Illinois’ gas station owners: “Push our campaign agenda, or we’ll treat you like a criminal and fine you $500 per day.”

There has got to be a law against this. I hope the gas station owners are successful in their lawsuit...

Illinois Gets New Budget, And Likely a Lawsuit Too

The $46 billion budget Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law Tuesday includes $1.8 billion in largely temporary tax relief, including $50 rebate checks to adult taxpayers, a one-time increase for property owners worth up to $500, and lifting for a year a 1% sales tax on groceries, meaning that...

Wow, that's gotta be illegal.

The republican party is a crminal enterprise.

Well this is Illinois so that means somebody’s cousin’s brother-in-law’s first dog’s owner owns the sign making company that will profit from this stupidity.

What does your statement have to do with the OP?

Wtf. Just looked him up. He personally owns Hyatt hotel chain with a personal net worth of $3.6b. What a wacky coincidence he became governor.

Yeah, he needs to go.

Wow, that's gotta be illegal.

What? Writing a political newsletter with a misleading headline and misleading first few paragraphs, or being dumb enough to post it on DP as an accurate thing?

First site is misleading. The actual text of the sign, according to the second site, is:

"As of July 1, 2022, the State of Illinois has suspended the inflation adjustment to the motor fuel tax through December 31, 2022. The price on this pump should reflect the suspension of the tax increase."

A bit silly, but not the overt campaign for the Illinois governor that the OP writer seems to think that it is.

Yeah, he needs to go.

Then there's his property taxes "issue"
And i believe he was caught on audio trying to set up a "pay to play" deal re: a gov't job.

No, the subject of the OP.

No, the subject of the OP.

You mean the bullshit title, or the whiny framing?

 

[ApersonLIKEallOFyou]

You mean the bullshit title, or the whiny framing?

Do you at least agree that the stickers are stupid and wasteful?

 

[Luce]

Wow, that's gotta be illegal.

The career path for an Illinois governor is "prison".

 

[Threegoofs]

Do you at least agree that the stickers are stupid and wasteful?

Sure. A tremendous waste of precious stickerage.

Are they stupid? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, it literally wont change any prices and no one will read them anyway.

Now that's a misleading title and thread starter, if there ever was one!

 

[Lovebug]

Now that's a misleading title and thread starter, if there ever was one!

The title of the first article was so much juicier than the second. Probably gets a lot of clicks.

 

[Roadvirus]

Or Chicago Alderman.

 

[Bum]

The republican party is a crminal enterprise.

Pritzker is a Democrat....not sure where this is going?

 

[Threegoofs]

Or Chicago Alderman.

I dont think any Illinois Governor has ever become a Chicago alderman.

Also, I m almost certain no Chicago Aldermen have ever made it to be an Illinois Governor, or even run for office as a nominee.

Odd you're not bothering to address your shitty OP tho.

He is not the first one, Doug Ford did a very similar thing in Ontario.

 

[Mr Person]

“As of July 1, 2022, the State of Illinois has suspended the inflation adjustment to the motor fuel tax through December 31, 2022. The price on this pump should reflect the suspension of the tax increase.”​

Let's see. They could certainly suspend a tax and take public credit. And while their intent is clear, it is also a a literal statement of a thing the state of illinois has done: suspend the tax increase.

It feels crass, but I'm not sure there is anything legally wrong with it. It doesn't even say "this administration" or "politicians X,Y,Z" have suspended...it says the state suspended it, and it did. What law is there regarding the types of signage the (or a) state may require private businesses in that state to post?
