So the people have spoken on Initiative 976. A majority voted to have $30 car tabs restored because we didn’t want to continue to be fleeced by an unfair tax.
I’m all for increasing the gas tax. At least it would be a fair tax.
Now there are going to be legal challenges to the newly passed initiative. I assumed that when initiatives are put on the ballot they have already passed any legal issues. Well, stupid me, huh?
At every election period there is always so much concern about voter turnout. Is it any wonder that we can’t get people out to vote if the things we vote for get overturned?
