It's a trap! SB1310 was never repealed and is still in effect. The Democrats are just updating what the Republican-required sign says!
The Republican governor of Illinois, 22 years ago [1]:
> SB 1310 provides that a sign shall be placed on each pump by the motor fuel retailer that states; "As of July 1, 2000, the State of Illinois has eliminated the State's share of sales tax on motor fuel and gasohol through December 31,2000. The price on this pump should reflect the elimination of the tax." This sign shall be at least 4 inches by 8 inches and any retailer failing to display this sign shall by guilty of a petty offense and be fined $500 for each retail premises violating the sign requirements.
The games these jokers play. You just know that someone has been patiently waiting for decades to bring this stupid sign back into the news. I'm sure that someone on the Republican side of this years' governor race is connected to George Ryan. I can't wait to find out who! In the mail today was a glossy 8x10 card telling me that Republican candidates A and B are secretly Democrats but candidate C is the one true conservative (not mentioning that he is being bankrolled by billionaire hedge fund guy whose campaign contributions have included "Obama for America" and "Hillary Clinton for President").
I'm going to go through a lot of popcorn this election cycle!
