Dear Chris,

I wish that these bill were just a hoax, but they are too real!
All you need to do is get to my official web site or go to the legislature web site and you can read them for yourself.  You can also see that some of them are moving forward.  Even those that aren't moving may next year after the the election if Democrats win.  Remember, they believe they are saving the world from us.. who just want to live without the heavy foot of government on our backs.

Mike

Dear Mike,If the information below is true, please forward this email expressing my horror and extreme displeasure, to all the relevant parties in Olympia.The citizens of Washington State voted for $30 tabs (which aren't even that now)--what the *&*^&%&** will it take for these people to LISTEN TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS???The thought of adding more taxes to vehicles, especially just because they have bigger engines, is really offensive to me.If this is some email hoax, obviously disregard this, but lately, after hearing about some of the bills proposed, I'll believe anything!Thanks for your help, and let me know if I can do anything more.Sincerely,Christopher KimballUniversity Place, WA  98467> From: msm at portata.com> To: rwgushue at gte.net; detomaso at realbig.com> Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2008 21:59:28 -0800> Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] Cubic inches to cost cubic money?> > Amazing how raising taxes is the cure for everything.> > http://www.semasan.com/main/main.aspx?id=62384> > http://www.semasan.com/main/main.aspx?ID=/content/SEMASANcom/HomePage> > > > -----Original Message-----> From: detomaso-bounces at realbig.com [mailto:detomaso-bounces at realbig.com] On> Behalf Of Rick> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 9:45 PM> To: Pantera List> Subject: [DeTomaso] Cubic inches to cost cubic money?> > This is from another mailing list, anyone in Washington state aware of > this ?> Rick> 1582> > Coming to WA state soon and then YOUR town next!> Subject: Car Tabs Increase> > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -> > Vehicle License Fee Bill SB6900 Hello, There is a bill that the> Washington State> Legislature is trying to pass in Olympia that, if successful, will > directly add> huge costs to our vehicle license fees.
