Democrat Congressman: Tax Drivers for Every Mile They Drive: While the House and the Senate this week issued measures intended to temporarily replenish the Highway Trust Fund before it...

While the House and the Senate this week issued measures intended to temporarily replenish the Highway Trust Fund before it runs out of money next month, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) ended the week by proposing to hike then abolish the federal fuel tax and replace it with a per-mile fee.

The policy development that Im most excited about and that will reinforce the right practices for the future: After we raise the gas tax, we should abolish it, Blumenauer said on Friday at the liberal Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C. The time is right to replace the gas tax, because its no longer an accurate reflection of road use and benefit because of these wildly changing fuel consumption patterns, and replace it with a vehicle mile travel fee regardless of the choice of vehicle fuel.

That technology is available, said Blumenauer, whose home state of Oregon has already had pilot vehicle mile travel fee programs in place for a decade.

And although Blumenauer did not take questions at the event, he attempted to deflect criticism about the vehicle mile travel fee being disadvantageous to rural Americans who not only dont have access to public t***sportation but also need cars or trucks to operate their businesses.

Te democrats have never met a tax they didn't love. Or in this case a tax disguised as a fee. Sort of like the ACA in reverse right. In the ACA we have a fee disguised as a tax to make it work and now they want to take a tax and make it a fee which will be greater. Wow whats not to love about that?

This was pushed real hard in Minnesota a few years ago. That was by Republicans. but no matter who would push this it sucks. Punish those who drive a little 4 banger, even harder for those who have a biz which uses trucks and cars on the road every day.. Never want to go with this one...

This idea started in Texas and was enacted on special toll roads by the Republicans, in a very shady deal still under investigation.

We, in Minnesota have a real rotation of who gets to Govern, We had Jessie, the body, Ventura, who I helped put into office. Then we went full bore for Republicans, Pawlinty was govern, 1st term he did a real good job, so 2nd time around I v**ed for him. But then the natl party got hold of him and everything in the state went to heck... Now we are on pretty good footing..But the GOP put in lots of fees, forced property tax thru the roof, and let the infrastructure fall to ruin..

"There are approximately 25 current toll roads in the state of Texas.[1] Toll roads are more common in Texas than in many other U.S. states, since the relatively low revenues from the state's gasoline tax limits highway planners' means to fund the construction and operation of highways."
