You’re going to put a GPS thing in my car and track my every motion?
No.
This guy needs to be voted off the island and the planet.

Followed by a two word sentence: Go away.
I say we test it out on All Federal and State Employee’s first, tell us how it works in 3 years, let’s say 50 cents per mile to begin with.
The amount of money paying for gas tax and vehicle registration is already astronomical
