Massachusetts wants to spen $100M to install devices in cars that will
allow the state to tax you for the miles you drive. Even though they
already have such a plan in place (it's called a "gas tax". the more gas
you use, the more tax you pay) the Democrats running the state now want to
tax you directly for your car use.

Seems about all Democrats are good for is dreaming up new ways to tax
people. Just think if they were half as creative as thinking up ways to
SAVE money.

I dunno. Heard it on the news last night.

Mass only. NY residents don't need to worry. Yet.

I asked because if it's got a name & number, it's got sponsors maybe
co-sponsors. Those people have mailing addresses.

Need I say more?

They figured out that they shouldn't charge you for the gas you use, but
rather the miles you drive. If they could (and there's no reason to think
they can't, or won't) they'd like to charge you for the miles you drive AND
the gas you buy. No point in taxing you once when they can tax you twice ...
