Marylanders — Get ready for Tax Hikes! According to the Maryland Public Policy Institute, tax hikes are coming.
A Commission met to discuss a 'Mileage Tax’. In other words, charging you for the number of miles driven.
Allegedly, the Mileage Tax would be for transportation. But, we know it’s really to pay for more out-of-control spending in Annapolis.
Here’s the background: Ten years ago, the Maryland General Assembly tied the gas tax to inflation. Each year, when inflation rises, so does the gas tax.
Instead of a constantly increasing gas tax, the State of Maryland is looking to raise more money in the form of a Mileage Tax. Put simply, the Democrats intend to levy a Mileage Tax in addition to the gas tax.
Don’t be fooled by Governor Wes Moore's decree that all new car sales in Maryland must be electric-only.
Remember, their goal is to raise more money, not less.
This raises the question: How will the State track your mileage?
