Oh ya you know the only economic sense it doesn't make is that just happens to be when people who you know, work for a living happen to be on the road so they can make money and pay taxes that the gov't mismanages because they have no control over the hours set by the company they work for. Yup no economic benefit to having people work, not at all.

what i find funny is if you go to Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and AZ, they have Super nice roads and etc. Why? Because they dont waste Tax money on BS, that is only beneficial to the gov..
California... Where did we go wrong? Oh yea, get a MOVIE actor as a government power..

It would be easy to enforce... all they have to do is require a yearly vehicle inspection (like a smog) when you renew your registration. Have the tech record mileage and make the assessment.
While I'm not a big fan of this plan; recognize the state is broke. Not in the hole, but dead goddamn broke. CA is the largest and richest state in the US and has the worst credit rating.
The money is gonna have to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is taxes. We are all going to take a hit

If we legalized pot and taxed the **** out of it like cigarettes that would be fixed and we wouldn't be broke.

And I do think California would be better as 2 states.
