Mr Mofor MLS, should we lower the registration renewal fees, lower the gas tax, get rid of this $5 tire surcharge, and, in turn, condemn the elderly and disabled to a life of bed-rotting and $30 Ubers? I sincerely and eagerly await your response. Thanks👍
Mr Mofor MLS, you have ≈ 20 tweets screaming and crying abt Maryland’s budget deficit and yet in the tweet below you’re crying abt some of Moore’s uncomfortable but earnest attempts to tackle said shortfall. Why is that?
Folks, tomorrow is July 1st, and every Maryland commuter can expect an increase in gas taxes.
To make matters worse, making a trip to the MVA is a nightmare when factoring in potential fees for Maryland commuters.
- Car Registration Fee: $241 to $383
- Vehicle Emissions Inspections: $30
- Vehicle Excise Taxes: 6.5%
- Gas Tax Rate: 46.6 cents per gallon
- Vehicle Tire Surcharge: $5 per tire
- Title/Certificate of Title Fees: $200
Unfortunately, we’re not even getting a strong return on our investment. Maryland ranks 46th in the nation in roadway and highway development. Yet, 52% of the Transportation Trust Fund spending goes to public transit, and only 26% of spending goes to roadways and highways.
When I get to Annapolis, I’m going to make sure that there are caps on funding that goes to public transit and make sure that those taxpayer dollars go to infrastructure improvements on roadways and highways.
We will make smart and strategic reductions in spending to ensure that Maryland commuters see relief while enjoying much-needed infrastructure improvements in our state!
i certainly don’t enjoy paying more to renew my vehicles registration but if i have to shell out some trivial $$ so i can enjoy the Red and Purple Line or so that seniors and disabled folks can have access to transit services then that’s a sacrifice I’m happy to make
