So now they come up with this scam. All the politicians that think this is a good idea should be fired.
5,000 volunteers = 5000 gullible schmucks
And the people of Oregon really think if this scheme is ever implemented the gas tax will be forever repealed?
Apparently some Americans are just begging to be controlled.
States are looking for steady flow of revenue to fund their chop shop bureaucracies.. ie.. slice and dice tax dollars from working people and giving it to illegals and lazy welfare recipients.
Its just one more way to screw more people and get re-elected by the loonies who benefit most from it.
Actually gas is more progressive because gas consumption has a direct relationship to torque applied to the road surface thus causing wear and tear. Per mile is totally regressive. Stupid liberals. Why should a compact 1.5 ton car pay the same as a 3-4 ton truck.
But what if you live in Klamath Falls and all those miles were driven in California ??? KF is about 15 miles from the state line..
Or you live in Portland but travel on the roads in Washington state ???
Or you might live in Idaho but cross the Snake River to Huntington, Oregon every day to work Do you have to pay some kind of user tax to OR ???
etc...
So they will eliminate the state fuel tax?
Thirty or more years ago, the price of the annual vehicle registration in Ontario was based in the number of cylinders, the more cylinders, the higher the fee. Of course, everyone was switching to four-bangers from V-8s, so they made it just one price, what it had been for V-8s! Your government, doing to you what can.

Somebody has to pay for road construction, maintenance, and repair.
That somebody should (IMO) be the people who use the road.
I invite folks here, who do not like the current or proposed methods of raising road construction, maintenance, and repair funds, to propose what they think would be honest, equitable, and non-intrusive methods of collecting those funds.
Oregon gas tax is 30 cents a gallon. So basically anyone whose car gets better than 20 miles per gallon will see taxes go up at the 1.5 cents per mile rate. This is a windfall for people with big trucks, cars, and SUVs.
In the future, I see a LOT of cars in Oregon being registered in Idaho.
Why don’t they just cut to the chase — a white man driving tax.
And then, eventually, they’ll do both.
I have friends that travel many miles to the university that is treating both of them. Not only are their co-pays a lot their medications are expensive. Now add the miles they drive and these people are in real trouble physically and financially.
It’s always about the money.
Reminds me of the local water department who constantly preached conserving water and then had to raise rates to meet expenses because people weren't using as much water. More government run nonsense!
“The program is meant to help the state raise more revenue to pay for road and bridge projects”
The program is meant to help the state raise more revenue to pay for more profligate spending by the corrupt politicians.
Fixed for accuracy.
