Cleveland, MS. Own small farm near Booneville, MS | I’ve said for a long time that the best way to pay for roads and bridges is to eliminate the fuel tax and change everyone, from mopeds to semis, a mileage tax. Most states do, and all states should, require an annual vehicle safety inspection. When the vehicle gets inspected record the mileage and send a bill for that. One objection was how do you collect from out of state drivers? You don’t. Everyone pays in their own state. That means that the out of state miles you drive get paid back to your home state. It will pretty much balance out. |
