Bob Cummins

When Bob Cummins, an OOIDA member from Branford, FL, hauled a load of jet engines to O,Hare International Airport in February, he had not been into Illinois in some time and was not aware of the toll increase. He had enough change on him for the old, lower toll, but the only other currency he had on him was a $100 bill.The toll taker wouldn,t take it. Instead, Cummins received an envelope to mail in the cash , at four booths in a row.,I just couldn,t get over it that they would not accept my $100 bill,, he said. ,It,s legal tender anywhere in the world , except for Illinois.
