I'm against the license tab excise tax for the same reason I was against the soda and candy tax - they just don't make sense to me. Both go (went) into the general fund, not to infrastructure. I'm perfectly fine with the gas tax and some general fund appropriations to road and bridge infrastructure.

I also think a state income tax would be a better method for funding state gov't. through the general fund than making every retail business in the state work for free as a state sales tax collector.

Without getting too far off topic, I thought the soda and candy tax was stupid. It was passed by the Legislature to help offset state gov't. revenue loss due to the recession. OK, but who the hell buys most of the soda and candy in this state (besides Todd's candy van)? Poor and low income people tend to buy more soda, candy, and junk food per capita than higher income earners. No skin off my nose, I buy a soda once every month or two. But since I didn't lose my job in the recession, I could have afforded to pay more tax than someone collecting unemployment. Oh well, can't let logic get in the way of bad government.
