Living and breathing in the Second City
Open-road tolling is finally coming back to haunt us. The State is considering premium tolling lanes or “hot” lanes.
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

I am a cynic by nature, so when the Toll authority states that the “premium tolling lanes” will contribute to more people car pooling, leading to less cars on the road, therefore “helping” the environment, I laugh…I laugh because this is YET ANOTHER tool to get more revenue from the people of Illinois, period.
