I almost hope these SOBs do this. Just to wake people the hell up. This would be enough to piss off millions and maybe wake them up to this corrupt, insane, big government spending.

If he vetoes the fees, he risks losing support of Democrats, who oppose cuts without a source of new money.

Boy, doesn't that pretty much say it all. They've gotten used to having that giant pile of gold, and damned be anyone who tries to take it away.

I got my vehicle license renewal in the mail (for my 2002). Though it's not due for 2 months, I paid it right away, so in case this goes tax hike goes through, I won't be stuck for triple fees -- at least for this year.

I've got a compromise for the Dimwit. He balances the budget without raising my taxes and I'll stay in CA...

Motorcycles?! What the hell? why raise the fees on motorcycles? They are the most fuel efficent vehicles out there. Oh that's right I almost forgot friggin stupid politicians can't or won't ride them.I hope the Hell's Angels take Joe Davis for a ride!!
