Taxation and car revenues draw lawmakers attention
Col. Charles Speaks, president of Fisk Tire, notes widespread focus on auto taxes as states enact higher registrations and license fees. He cites 44 state legislatures with 10,000 bills affecting motorists, 1,400 enacted, with revenue justification by calling autos a luxury. He warns rising costs may pressure lower income households to abandon driving. He observes a $2,000,000 rise in highway funding since 1834 and 1987, expanding state highway, bridge, and ferry revenues.
