Indiana will never have good roads as long as current leadership is in charge and refuses to deal with the reality that we have to find revenue sources outside of road funding revenue streams.
And just like marijuana, Houston and Bray need more ‘compelling evidence’, since they live in their own little vacuum, and think it’s all about them.
I know that while it worked, for the most part, the fuel tax hit every car that passed through Indiana.
I wonder how equitable it would be if every year, when you registered your car for plates, you had to report the mileage and then were taxed on the miles driven. Of course there would be people that would cheat, but that would work right up until you sold the car and had to report the odometer reading at the time of the sale.
That’s what they’re discussing with the “road user charge”. Marijuana will be legal in this state before they mandate a technological device that tracks your mileage in your car, or mandatory reporting of how far you drive. Self reporting or paying a mileage tax when you sell a car? It will be worked around six ways to Sunday.
Sure, it might make sense. But this is a caucus that is, well, anti-sense. We are facing a very large gap in transportation, Medicaid, and education just to stay competitive as a state… and we are doing it with legislators whose priority is yet another tax cut. The state is in big trouble.
At a minimum, every public EV charger in Indiana should include a tax on the amount of power transferred to a vehicle. With nearly 2,000 charging ports in the state, the revenue collected at least could replace the gas tax funds no longer collected.
Here’s a thought….if revenues are not where they were projected to be, perhaps we delay, postpone or cancel expensive road projects for a while or even ever? btw, where did all of that “infrastructure” money Biden hyped go???
