A 4-cent-per-gallon fuel tax will take effect in Lake County beginning July 1.
The Lake County Board on Tuesday enacted the measure by a vote of 14-7. The approval was expected, as the stances of individual board members emerged during lengthy discussions last week leading to Tuesday s vote.
As approved, the tax will generate $8 million to $11 million per year to address a backlog of partially and unfunded road projects, county officials say.
The board initially considered an 8-cent-per-gallon tax, the maximum allowed under state law. The recommendation to the full board was reduced as a compromise between members who supported the tax and those who felt it would hurt people who could least afford it.

Like many seniors, Ruth and Michael Fineman, both 72, have found getting a COVID-19 vaccine to be an ordeal.
The Buffalo Grove couple have had trouble signing up for vaccination appointments online, a process that can involve using multiple websites and booking rapidly filled timeslots before someone else does. It can be challenging, even for those who are tech-savvy.
I know everyone is doing the best they can, Ruth Fineman said of the vaccine rollout efforts. But it s extremely frustrating.
To aid Lake County seniors such as the Finemans overcome these and other vaccination challenges, Lake County Board member Marah Altenberg and others are putting together a virtual call center that will connect them with volunteers armed with knowledge and the technical know-how to help.

An official vote is months away, but a majority of county board members appear ready to authorize the public process to establish zoning rules for retail shops and other aspects of the cannabis business.
