(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average Illinois car owner would pay an extra $50 a year to register it and about $95 more annually to gas it up. The motor fuel tax hike would go into effect July 1, but the registration fee increase wouldn’t happen until the first of the year. Money generated by the increases would pay for road construction and other public works projects throughout the state, which Pritzker and other backers say are long overdue and will create jobs. The fees also include a 6% daily and 9% monthly tax on parking in garages and lots, a $1 increase in the per-pack cigarette tax to $2.98 and changes in the tax structure for online purchases.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-honored-serve-vietnam-war-us-military-medical-deferment-bone-spurs-piers-morgan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Trump’s medical deferment from the draft came up repeatedly during his campaign for the White House in 2015 and 2016, and has resurfaced as a talking point among his Democratic challengers ahead of the coming election in 2020. South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg accused President Trump last month of using his “privileged status to fake a disability” to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War. “This is somebody, who I think it is fairly obvious to most of us, took advantage of the fact that he was a child of multimillionaire in order to pretend to be disabled so that somebody could go to war in his place,” Buttigieg said of Mr. Trump. During the presidential campaign in July 2015, the Trump campaign said Mr. Trump had a “medical deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet.” The statement also said that Mr. Trump entered the military draft lottery and had received number 356 out of 365. “When the draft occurred, they never got near his number, and he was therefore exempt from serving in the military,” the Trump campaign said in a statement at the time. “Although he was not a fan of the Vietnam War, yet another disaster for our country, had his draft number been selected he would have proudly served and he is tremendously grateful to all those who did.” In a C-SPAN interview in October 2017, the late Sen. John McCain took a swipe at Mr. Trump over the deferment, saying it was “wrong” for him to have claimed to have bone spurs to avoid military service.)
