California Governor Wants Residents To Pay $65/Year Just To Use Highways

California Governor Jerry Brown wants residents to pay $65 a year plus higher gas prices in a new bid to help fix the massive state’s bridges, roads, and highways. But many residents are not happy about the proposed bill.
From SF Gate:
The Brown administration shared the plan with Republican leaders Thursday morning. It requires a two-thirds majority vote in the Legislature because of the new taxes, and it has several elements meant to appease Republicans andDemocrats. However, the plan will be a tough sell, particularly to Republicans.
The administration’s plan would create a highway user fee of $65 per vehicle, which would generate $2 billion and could be assessed during vehicle registration. Another $1 billion would be generated by raising the gas tax by 6 cents per gallon and the diesel tax by 11 cents per gallon. Those taxes would continue to rise based on the Consumer Price Index. The state would take $500 million from cap-and-trade revenue and $100 million from reducing the Department of Transportation’s budget and use it for road repairs.
“The administration’s proposal was put forth after engaging with Democrats, Republicans and lots of people who are concerned about adequate funding for our crumbling roads and highways,” said Brown spokesmanGareth Lacy. “It includes sensible reforms and sufficient revenue to improve our roads, bridges, public transit and trade corridors — all vital to boosting quality-of-life and economic competitiveness.”

So you mean the Californians’ money is actually gonna go toward funding THEIR OWN roads WITHIN THEIR OWN STATE…. instead of being vacuumed up by the Federal reserve, 4000 miles away in Washington DC, and spent on lavish rooms in which the Rothschilds bugger little boys?
Okay, excellent.
Now is California gonna go the next step, and…
1. …fund ALL of their own projects internally…
2. … and declare that it’s gonna protect its citizens against the ‘necessity’ of paying Federal Income Taxes?
Because *that* would really impress me.
