The tax would replace slumping revenue collected through the state's gas tax. Rising fuel costs have lured drivers from their cars while the increased popularity of gas-efficient vehicles has cut back on the number of trips drivers make to the pumps.
Here's the real reason for the tax. People have cut back on gas purchases...the desire of the enviro-moonbats, but they didn't expect the tax income from that to decrease as well. Unanticipated consequence??? DUH??? Idiots.
and of course, they wont ever let us vote on this stuff..
i hope this helps stomp out Gregoire and all her moonbat friends out their in Olympia..
Never happen. I think the people in Olympia actually like being taxed.
i was explaining this to a young leftie mom who lives across the street. they have a huge SUV and a mini van. our other neighbors have a prius.
young leftie mom says, "oh well, i think its great if it rewards the prius drivers and hurts the people who drive cars that get bad gas mileage"
so i ask, "how does your SUV do on mileage?"
she says, "oh its not good"
???
i thought the light bulb might go off over her head just seconds later...
i'm still waiting ..
