If you follow the link that you posted, there's a list of organizations that are against the bill.

That was my point. There are some heavy duty organizations opposing this bill, and many of them will suffer hugely if the bill is signed and implemented. They can either shell out the $5 to $15 million that it will take to qualify a referendum and fund a campaign to defeat the bill at the next statewide election (probably in March, 2004), or they can lose hundreds of millions (or billions) of dollars when the bill goes into effect. We'll soon find out how short-sighted or far-sighted they are.

Of course their other option is to contribute a couple of million dollars to Gray Davis' campaign so he'll veto it.

Why does the wedrive.org site say "The California Legislature did this," not "The DEMOCRATS in the California Legislature did this"? Looks like even the owner of this site still loves his Democrats more than he loves his vehicles.

The ultimate SUV. If they built it, I would buy it. The Kenworth Pilgrimage.

Unfortunately, if you have an annual inspection for smog/safety it will be real easy to note the odometer and tax accordingly.

The problem with that method is that they can not prove how many of those miles were driven on Kalifornia roads. My trips from San Diego, CA to Pocatello, ID were 910 miles one way. Only the first 300 miles is on Kali roads. I would immediately produce my ATM gas slips with mileage recorded on them and object to be taxed for driving in Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Idaho. Since I make that trip in a 15 hour continuous time frame, it would be pretty easy to come up with the supporting documentation. I suspect the case would have standing in a federal court.
