The GPS companies have no liability and I’m sure you agree to not hold them liable every time you use their product.

If this is not chatbot BS , why the fuck would anyone ramble on speculating about something like this, when there’s absolutely no reason to think it might happen? Nonsense.

I like how they all got together and pondered

"How can we make record inflation worse for all our constituents? Let's raise DMV fees!"

Unfortunately had to remove this due to Reddit Content Policy

There is no running mate for the Governor, they are separate votes. You think Scott chose Zuckerman?

Ridiculous, regressive taxation.

Great points but they don’t fit the “doom and gloom” narrative over this subject.

Agreed when I moved here I was amazed at how often I have to register/inspect my car and the associated fees. It’s almost cheaper to just keep your car unregistered and risk the ticket

Is this chatgpt spam? If so, amazing.

Do you know what communism is lmao?

A similiar but possibly less costly method has been proposed, by widening the road on either side, and installing a series of texas barricades to form a chicane a la Formula 1; basically an obstacle that if you're able to pass through, means you can also pass through the notch.

Yeah that’s another thing government loves to do…centralize power

It’s not class warfare it’s shifting a cost burden to those who can truly afford it. If you’re living in excess you can afford to pay into services, which should be streamlined to be made as cost-effective and efficient as possible. It’s a both and scenario. Trickle down economics doesn’t work

When notches give you lemons....or something.

Disgusting

Sounds like another communist wet dream. Always class warfare. But how about just no new fees for anyone? Just once I’d love to see fees like this come down due to something like increased operational efficiency. Most of this stuff is processed on computers now

This fucking state is getting absurd. I’m a steadfast dem and even I’ll readily say that between paid leave, childcare, clean heat standard, and now registration fees I’m gonna be paying so many taxes and fees for services I won’t even be eligible for. It’s baffling to me that a state full of second homes and short term rentals, with a rapidly aging population, is choosing to place the bulk of the tax burden on the middle class.

I don’t know if I agree with all of your sentiments.

> Imagine if our politicians proposed raising property, income and sales taxes by 20% across the board…

However, I do have some news for you: https://vtdigger.org/2023/03/29/house-passes-bill-that-would-give-tax-department-control-of-property-appraisals/

Thats why the fine should be 100k the truckers wont risk it. There are already like 10 signs starting all the way back on the interstate. There really is no exuse unless they are like actually dumb

God I'm so sick of this. Our state is being ruined by the wealthy buying property for rentals and second homes, but the tax gets put on people trying to get to work in a state that REQUIRES personal transport to live in. Here goes the last of our dwindling population of youthful workers.

Wow! I used to almost feel guilty for keeping my Mass license up here for close to twenty years now. $50 for 5 years same photo from 15 years ago:)

I've thought about it and it's ugly...

But a large sign with photos of each truck and driver stuck with the fine and tow cost on there.

Been going to Smuggs for over twenty years, and I only tried Stowe once during that time (this year lol)

I would have tried Stowe years ago if it were only a couple minute drive away

So at what point do the citizens actually use democracy to fix this?

Maybe the article wasn't targeted at Vermonters?

Edit: Didn't notice the OP. Never mind.
