Gov. Gray Davis on Tuesday said he supports an effort by Assembly Democrats to raise personal income taxes and undo the vehicle license fee increase.

Lawmakers are crafting legislation that would wipe out the tripling of the car fee that is to go into effect Oct. 1. Instead, the bill would add two new top income tax brackets and bump up taxes on cigarettes.

What a me$$!

Another mess for ALL of us from a demRatically controlled legislature.

"When I proposed my budget, I did not want the car tax to go up," Davis said. "I do not think it's fair that ordinary Californians bear the full burden of the budget crisis."

Just keep it up, Gray. Keep it up.

[Reagan is King]

What a clueless bunch. If they just freeze spending increases they could solve the budget crises, but that would be the last thing the Dems would ever vote for.

Too late for Davis, the people of California already tightened the political rope around his neck.

Davis just don't get it about taxes, illegal aliens etc. We've had enough Chucko!

Four words: Too Little, Too late.

Ya know..the dems have really painted themselves in a corner...I can see it now, Davis is "forced" to resign by the Cal Dems..persuaded by Bubba..so he asks all those who support him to vote for Bustamonte.....now there's an endorsement worth having..

[Uncle George]

DIM-WIT Davis WAFFLES every 24 hours. He might open a I.H.O.P. soon.

[hchutch]

Sounds like he's running scared.

Grayout shouldn't have raised it in the first place.

[The Old Hoosier]

When does the car tax come due?

[BJungNan]

What a transparent jerk. And for him to say, If we can find a way to legally reduce the new car tax that he just imposed. The sooner this idiot is out of office the better.

[Prowler Fowler]

A tax by any other name is still a tax

"If we can find a legal way to reduce the car tax while raising the taxes that I proposed in my budget in January, I would support it," Davis said. "I never intended for this burden to fall solely on the motorists of California."

Help me understand something here...When Davis trippled the car tax in California, who did he think was going to pay those car taxes...hitch hikers???

[joey'smom]

Too late, Davis, you wuss. Got my car tax bill last week -- went from $169 last year to $389 this year. (On a 2002 PT Cruiser.) You're a lame d*ck (take your pick, "i", "u", both fit.)

[alloysteel]

NOW Gray-out Davis is in favor or "reducing" the annual license fees n automobiles. Where was he when everybody thought it was a bad idea, and he signed the legislation that made the increases into law?

[TheSpottedOwl]

"If we can find a legal way to reduce the car tax while raising the taxes that I proposed in my budget in January, I would support it," Davis said. "I never intended for this burden to fall solely on the motorists of California."

Liar, liar, impeccable Italian suit on fire...

[princess leah]

He still doesn't get it and that is more proof he is INCOMPETANT and needs to be ousted!

[gc4nra]

October, people who are getting their registration notices now should be seeing the increase.
