Now, motorists pay about a third of the vehicle license fee that they paid in 1998 -- but the state pays $3.8 billion a year to reimburse cities and counties for revenues lost by the reduction. Now, Davis is proposing to increase the rate back to the level it was in 1999. The car tax is based on the value of the vehicle.

Very sneaky of Gray Davis. The car tax is not paid on a set date for everyone, but on the anniversary of the car purchase. This would mean that on the average, Gray Davis would only upset a small portion of the voting public. Maybe not even phase the car tax in until well after the elections.

I'm registering my truck and cars using my mother's address in Utah this year. It'll take CA 1-2 years to catch me if I don't get any tickets.
