Who said anything about it being free, what a knee jerk comment.

The Prius, hybrid, electric car people are going to be pissed. That's government for you though. They tax and spend like crazy, pass draconian mileage laws and then realize it lowers their income too much so they have to tax even more.

We already pay 55 cents per gallon (on average) in taxes at the pump, at what point will you be pissed off about being ripped off?

 

[JakeStarkey]

In other words, you pay for what you use, and the libertarians piss their panties.

Gasoline tax revenues are shrinking and road construction and maintenance costs continually rise. Pa. let their roads and bridges go to shit and it was the business interests who screamed the loudest for new revenues including taxes on themselves. Jeezus! Have a third grader explain it to you. They don`t cry nearly as much.

Seems like you cry quite a bit.

I have no problem with the mileage tax, over the fuel tax but we know that won't happen and both will increase.

I'm not sure Oregon could tax for miles that are in another state. How would that work?

 

[HenryBHough]

Long known that to vote for a Democrat is to vote for an increase in existing taxes and creation of new taxes.

Oregonians knew, or should have known, what they were bringing on themselves. Now they have no choice but to suck it up. Until the next elections, of course, at which time they'll demonstrate their approval and bend a little deeper.

That dumbass old rocks was just saying that Eugene and Portland paid for all the roads in Eastern Oregon...by way of justifying the land grabs and water theft that they foist upon us.

Per usual, he's an elitist douchebag...and wrong besides.

I was stating facts, the move hurts the green energy movement. As long as they cut the fuel tax like many claim, I don't see a difference, however it will hurt the green movement. The other side, I believe that most states will keep the fuel tax.

Gas taxes already tax on the basis of how far you drive; it takes more gas to drive more. Duh. If there is less gas tax revenue then that means the roads are being used less which means they should not be in such disrepair. This is all another gov scam to recoup losses in their slush funds.

Didn't you know this was going to happen when fuel efficient and electric cars went on the road? Less gas used. Less taxes received. The shortfall has to be made up someplace. A fuel tax on gasoline and a per mile tax to get the efficient cars. Pay tax twice for the same thing.

Can't, for it would be an interstate commerce issue. But the tax form can be changed to separate the two columns, the in state taxable.

Let's tax those electric cars by the mile. They've been avoiding the gas tax but still use the roads. They need to pay their fair share.

That's a carbon tax.

You'll only be allowed a set number of breaths per week. Abuse will be punished severely.

Methane emissions are a different story. Unauthorized farting will be punishable by death!!!

No more Mexican food.

For fairness, the same tax should be added to mass transit fares.

This is just another give away for freeloaders.
