Like it or not, we’ve decided to pay for our roads with fuel taxes.

If you don’t pay fuel taxes but use the roads, you should expect to pay the road taxes.

I believe off-road use (farm and construction equipment) would be road tax free. In fact off-road use of diesel gets you a tax credit to pay you back for the road tax built in that you’re not liable for.

I want to see Bicycles licensed and taxed. In my state, we pay multiplied millions of $$$ for bicycle trails and bicycle lanes, but the bicyclists won't use them. They ride in traffic and tie up traffic something fierce. They ignore stop signs and rules of the road and expect you to give them the right of way or you get the middle finger salute. I want a nice big license plate on each of them so we can tell who the offenders are. Right now, they're all anonymous. Motorists are paying for their special lanes and trails, and they ride free. T'ain't fair!
