Senator Anderson statement on newly passed delivery fee tax to fund Chicago Transit

State Senator Neil Anderson issued the following statement after the Senate approved House Bill 3438, legislation that includes a bailout for the Chicago transit system funded in part by a new $1.50 delivery tax on nearly all online orders:

“Chicago’s transit failures are now every Illinoisans’ problem thanks to Democrat lawmakers who rammed through a delivery tax to bail out Brandon Johnson’s broken system. This is nothing but a statewide shakedown to cover up local incompetence. Families are already struggling, and now they’re being forced to pay for a disaster they didn’t cause and won’t benefit from. Democrats failed to fix their transit problems, and now our taxpayers are being forced to foot the bill.”
