Gov. Pritzker Signs Chicago Transit Bailout

December 17, 2025

Governor Pritzker just signed the Chicago transit bailout - and Illinois families are stuck with the bill.

This so-called "solution" raises tolls, hikes the RTA sales tax, and siphons money away from downstate roads and bridges to prop up a mismanaged Chicago transit system.

That's not reform. That's a bailout. Illinoisans deserve better.
