A-huh... and how will they determine this?
Charging a per gallon gas tax AND a per mile traveled tax is double taxation——pure & simple
I'd guess that it would be levied year-to-year from recording the mileage at the state inspection, or some such.
GPS is the bureaucracy's dream, but I don't see that getting through. Yet.
By the odometer reading and/or the car’s computer.
It won’t pass. The legislature is already balking.
Those projects are boondoggles of the highest order and how many times do they really need to repave the highways in this state yet again?
I can’t see any of this passing except a sales tax or income tax hike.
Ohh mandatory annual odometer inspections that the vehicle owner must pay for. Mandatory gps tracking units similar to those that insurance companies are offering to wimps for free, but that the driver must pay for that upload your driving data to the state in real time (Hmm could autogenerate speeding tickets too.) Lots of ways if the burden falls 100% upon the public like it ALWAYS does with anything from the government.
The people in MA DESERVE this; those liberal massholes deserve to get all the government that they pay for.
