Taxpayers don't have bottomless pockets

I am sorry I backed JB for governor. It seems that every time he opens his mouth, it costs the taxpayers more money. The fuel tax is beyond fair - an additional 19 cents a gallon for gas and five cents for diesel. How is that fair? Who does more damage to roads, automobiles or big trucks? All this construction costs big bucks.

The fiasco at the tollway board shows nothing changed; there are just different faces. His three bills to protect immigrants who are here illegally is just going to bring more here and put added strain on our social services, which is going to cost more money He is going to break the bank.

I don't know about you, but I do not have bottomless pockets. The more people that leave Illinois means a bigger chunk for the rest of us to pay.
