And Who Did You Vote For ?
Calif. Lawmakers Reportedly Plan To Triple Car Tax
California lawmakers have agreed to triple vehicle registration fees in an effort to close the state's $28 billion budget gap, the L.A. Times reported late Thursday.
The increased car license fees are expected to bring in more than $6 billion a year for state coffers, but it would cost many motorists hundreds of additional dollars annually.
The Times said many normally anti-tax Republican lawmakers had signed off on the proposal in exchange for a ballot measure to impose limits on future state spending.
Under the plan, the yearly fees would go up from the current .65 percent of the vehicle's value to 2 percent. For example, for a car valued at $25,000, the fee would go to $336.
However, it was not immediately clear if Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger would support the plan. He ran against the so-called car tax in 2003 and uopn being being elected, he quickly repealed the immensely unpopular tripling of the tax that had occurred at the time.

But if we dont stand ground now.. Its going to become a trend.
Taxing people that already do not have money is a bad idea. When people cant pay reg fee's they will fail with car insurance too... That's all we need is a bunch of those people driving around.

WTF?!?! Let me get this straight....So is this for purchase of a new car and a regular annual registration after you bought your car as well? So, on a $50,000 is would be $1,000/year?!?!?
If it is the case than that is just not cool...Every state I live and have friends in; annual car registration fees are often less than $100 and are NOT value based. And the budget deficits are no where near as bad as California's. I think they need to fix some other problems before turning attention to a "low" motorist tax issue...

you will only hit 10% if you are already paying 8.5% sales which a lot of place are but that is not uniform through out the whole state
