Then, late in the week, the governor used an emergency mechanism to earmark funds toward cities to make up in part for revenue they lost when the car-tax increase was repealed, and to cut $150 million in line items from the state budget.Yet another deception in this article.
The tax rate has not changed. The "in lieu of" tax rate on motor vehicles has not changed. It remains fixed at 2%.
