  Gotta maintain the roads somehow. Vehicle and gas taxes mean that only those using the are paying.

    I disagree, mostly due to i pay vehicle registration and tax when I buy it. VA does vehicle property tax, MD does not. How are they surviving?

    update: so I just checked Virginia’s property tax rates and apparently we are one of the lowest in the country at like .76%. so maybe the vehicle property tax makes up for that since most states are just a bit under 1% at around .9. MD is higher, 1.02%

      then exactly that is what needsto go away, not vehicle tax, because this won’t fund road maintenance for however many years
