WA State mulls by-the-mile road tax

Poll there, not looking good as far as the voters are concerned.  Not that Olympia cares all that much...

    Yes, but...
    Depends...

    Am I missing another little option there, or is king5.com's bias showing just a bit?

  2. You can vote "No". In fact, 80% of respondents have done so.

  3. I'll take your word for it. The "no" option doesn't appear in my browser:

    Could be the percentage of no votes would a lot higher if everyone could see it.

  4. we already pay for roads 'by-the-mile, every time we buy a tank of gas. Higher mileage cars get to pay less for mile of road traveled than the "Dodge EarthLovers" SUV's Do. This would be a [gasp] double tax.
