Other states do this with toll roads.

Illinois flirted with this, too.

California will implement this because it kills two birds with one stone: it’s optics to help meet climate goals and it salivates the elite’s sadistic disdain for anyone that lives inland.

Who gets screwed over the most by a mileage tax? Commuters that endure hours of daily commute so that they can live in a somewhat affordable single-family home. The other big loser is the ag industry, where mileage piles up with farm-to-market transport and expenses from those that support the industry and travel substantial miles.

This may turn out like the “dry” counties in Texas where you can’t buy booze. Liquor stores are just across the county line. Maybe car dealerships will pop up just across the Cali state border.

Now you see why fedzilla mandated telecommunications modems in all new cars in 2018 ish.

Where do I plug their shitty little dongle into my 91 wrangler? They’re crazy if they think I’ll let them put a tracker in cars.

They try this shit and i’m pulling my registration of all my cars and my fleet cars and moving them to an idaho based llc.

What a wonderful way to eliminate cars, which is the ultimate goal of all this “green’ propaganda. Simply tax them out of existence. Has anyone ever seen a tax that didn’t keep rising?

Gas tax is anonymous, mileage tax won't be.
The Left wants to restrict people's movements, no more using fuel for unauthorized fun or other subversive activities.

I had an extended business trip to San Diego. The roads have lots of pot holes and managed to knock my F150 front end out of alignment a few times. It's an expensive thing to ignore when it causes uneven tire wear and "pulling" behavior when driving. I opted to tow a motorcycle from Idaho to San Diego for my daily commutes. Depending on the bike, I achieved 46 MPH to 53 MPH and easily dodged the pot holes. I didn't need another front end alignment once I shifted to using the bike for all local transport and just using the F150 to tow the bike to/from Idaho.

I've made ONE trip back to San Diego since 2017. It was my 50th high school reunion. I used my F150 to make the trip. Local driving in San Diego was limited to the reunion activities. The last tank of gas to fill before returning to Idaho was priced at $6.89/gallon. On arrival back in Idaho, I topped the tank up before heading back to my house. I paid $3.25/gallon for ethanol free regular. Just 24 hours in time and 925 miles of travel separated the two fill ups.

I have been driving on the same bad roads for decades here in the San Fernando valley near LA.

I noticed using google street view the roads by my parents home in Golden valley, Minnesota are cracked and have been for several years as you can view the past street view history.
I remember seeing the road crew fixing the roads several times when I was a kid and a teenager by laying crushed stone on top of the asphalt. The roads always looked good.
Now cracks everywhere.

Politicians steal the tax money for other projects and hardly use it for what is really needed.

they’ll figure out a way to exempt special groups...count on it...
