Common Sense Government for once! Get out!
I see legislators are finally listening to Detroit for once.
They have come up with some good ideas to help fund road maintenance in our state;
That the excise tax charged on registration of vehicles be raised from 3 percent of the purchase price to 4 percent. That would raise about $19 million dollars, which would go to the state highway fund. Raising the cost of license-plate fees for noncommercial vehicles by an average of $10. For a typical passenger car or pickup, that would bump the fee from about $42 to $52 and would raise about $12 million, which would go to counties. Eliminating a provision that gives a 30 percent license-plate fee reduction for noncommercial vehicles older than five years and a 10 percent break for older commercial vehicles. Those two changes would raise about $13 million, which would go to counties for road work.
The March of the Sore Losers
I’m not sure if Barack Obama will make a great president or not? But shouldn’t we at least wait until he is in office before we start talking about his policy decisions? This letter writer is ready to take him down ahead of time.
Our country has elected a man about whom we know little to nothing. For one who campaigned on transparency, it befuddles me how we know so little about Barack Obama and his past.
HUH? Have you been living under a F’ing rock for the past 2 years? He has written two books and has been interviewed hundreds of times. Heck, go online and just google his name.
And this quote from Obama: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Every citizen has right to know who was just elected president and a duty to protect us from foreign terrorists.
Not sure what Obama’s objective is with the civilian national security force. But I would assume it would be similiar to a neighborhood watch group or the Red Cross. So don’t get your shorts in a bunch.
