I agree.
I have read nothing about taxing miles driven in the newspaper. It is probably impossible to determine miles driven.
The proposed 10 cent gas tax increase is to fund road construction/repair and transit. There is no adequate source for that funding now and congestion is increasing and roads deteriorating. A recent major project was cancelled when contractors refused to (in effect) loan the state money to start the project before funding was available. Or perhaps the tooth fairy would fund highways.
