Good.
For those claiming hypocrisy since she *is* calling for the *federal* gas tax to be suspended, the difference is that states aren't allowed to run deficits. Still shouldn't suspend the federal gas tax either, though.

(and yes, I just bought an electric car, but that also means my annual registration fee is an extra $140 per year to make up for the gas tax I won't be paying)
Honestly, that seems awfully steep. MI's gas tax is $0.272/gallon. $140 would be the equivalent of using 515 gallons of gas per year. At 25 mpg, that'd mean driving 13,000 miles/year even though I only drive about *half* that.
For that matter, a *new* *gas* powered car of the same model I just bought is rated at 53/48 MPG; call it 50 even on average. That'd be the equivalent of driving 26,000 miles per year.
The $40 "gas tax equivalent" (it's up from $35) is fine; it's the = of using around 147 gallons of gas/year, which would be the equivalent of driving ~8,000 miles/year at 54 MPG.
It's the $100 "fuck you" surcharge that's the problem.
