Pritzker declares Illinois a diesel disaster area amid supply concerns
Original: diesel
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has declared the state a diesel disaster area, a move aimed at easing fuel supply pressures. The declaration allows regulatory relief to help get diesel moving to retailers and farmers. Fuel retailers, however, remain wary, questioning whether the measure will actually resolve shortages or price spikes that have hit truckers and agricultural operations across the state.
Why now: Diesel supply problems are directly affecting trucking, farming and fuel prices in Illinois right now.
