I live in Pennsylvania. One of the states with the highest gas tax, and the worse roads. Now our wonderful leaders are thinking about eliminating the gas tax because of EV's Hybrids and cars with better gas mileage. They are proposing to set a mileage tax. I can see more people driving unregistered cars to get around it. This state taxes its taxes. When will this end?
I've learned that most people in positions of power (maybe I'm just a pessimist?) Don't really give a crap about people in general. My HOA to my City council to the whole California gov are so out of touch with what normal people deal with, it would be funny if it wasn't such a bother on life. Elections and petitions are the only way to change things unfortunately. If you ain't good with the words and have a hard time with complex office talk like me, you're kinda stuck trying to slug through it which is also a PITA.
I live in WA State which already has high gas taxes and they've been talking about this same kind of plan, and I think it's just ridiculous. But then states are in the business of making money and not losing it so they are always coming up with plans that have the most profit for them.
It won't until you elect representatives that do the will of the People.
Just wondering what that will do to UBER and other drivers who earn little.
It has been proposed in ct numerous times, sadly they won in bringing back tolls so no more highways for me.
This would actually be a secondary mileage tax as insurance already screws you with high or even normal mileage.
The answer in my city has been buy a junker, never register it.& don't keep anything important in there for when it gets seized. That's a good 50-75% of locals because the mill rate is too insane. I had a truck which cost me $900, the city was charging $160 in property tax, highest it went on that heap I want to say is $240. It ended up in the 4-5 years I owned it, I paid more in taxes than I did for the truck itself.
