... 'Cause if DC let you inspect your car in VA, they'd lose $. And it's all about collecting $ from the taxpayers to support the very bloated DC government....Soooo, if half of the vehicles in DC are government vehicles, and thereby exempt from fees, seems the local citizenry (those who actually pay taxes) are getting the shaft - again.
Seems the time is right for history to repeat itself with a good old fashioned "Tea Party." Dump the politicos in the Potomac and see if anyone complains. Wait, that won't work. Gross pollution of the river.
Actually, the population tried revoting. People registered their cars in VA and got a VA mailbox just so that they wouldn't have to deal with DC's Department of Motor Vehicles.
Unfortunately, DC gov't found out and started cross-checking the VA database, saying this was UNFAIR because they were losing VALUABLE TAXDOLLARS.
DC gov't very opening talks about its residents as billing units. We're just a source of revenue to them.
