Proposed Tax in Wa. State

[GeorgeS]

I'm hearing that a bill is in the hopper, Wa. state gov't, to put a $600 to $900 tax on new vehicals with engines larger then 2 liter. Called an " Engine Displacement Fee "

 

Also, a bill that would create Special licence plates, that Identify, past convicted Drunk Drivers.

 

Oh well, life goes on, gov't gets bigger, and bigger ------

As one of the millions of innocent victims of a drunk driver I am waiting for the time when we never have to worry about seeing a convicted drunk driver behind the wheel of ANY vehicle, EVER again. I have no patience or sympathy for a drunk driver. As far as I am concerned he/she is just as much a menace to society as a person running around shooting people with a gun. And if I had anything to do with it a person caught driving on a suspended license would spend the next 20 years in jail, no questions asked!!!!

 

I am of the belief that if the punishment is harsh enough most people will think twice before breaking the law. I think EVERYONE should carry!!!!!

I think they have something similar in Oregon in regards to large vehicle tax increases.

I'm with you on drunks. Identifying licence plates is kind of a neat idea. Maby a plate to identify Illegal Aliens would also be a good idea.

 

About 8 years ago, Licence plates were $800 to $3000 depending on value of new vehical. We got it down to about $80.00 with a " ballot measure " that passed,

The Folks in the State Capitol are still fumeing over that. They have been trying lots of Sneaky things to get around it. But so far have failed.

Isn't it strange?......These are the same guys that are supposed to be working for YOU (you do pay their wages) OK, we aren't gonna go there, 'cause if I do, I'll stay and never get back! (and I don't think we're allowed anyway.....a good thing!)
