who has the right to make ppl pay for each mile they drive??? are you crazy?? this is betrayal! I use to look up and support Tim Pawlenty.. He just lost my vote. would this man be paying out of his pocket daily?? No! he gets to be driven around…and daily soke up the governments money that we are forced to pay. Former presidents would be rolling over in their graves today if they knew how evil and corrupt our government has become. I pray to God that you all don’t sleep well at night!

More people need to speak out about all this. Come on!! What happened to the peoples voice??

As a Minnesotan, I’m disappointed with our governor for capitulating on this. Maybe he’ll offer a “This is what I meant” speech and reassure us that a mileage tax won’t be imposed until a certain percentage of vehicles on the road are no longer dependant on gasoline, but why even consider it now–and why in the hell is he allocating tax-payer money for this? Is he deluded enough to think that by spending our money on this “research/preparation” he’ll be saving us money in the long run?

Or am I just being hyper-sensitive to ANY attempt to impose MORE TAXES on us? For crying out loud! Why can’t government practice operating below its means, for a change, so that it can really stimulate the economy by lowering our taxes and giving back to the taxpayers the money saved by practicing some fiscal discipline?

I thought we Minnesotans were fortunate to have a governor like Tim Pawlenty. What a disappointment. My family is struggling right now, tightening our belts more and more to live below our shrinking means. We don’t see government as our nanny or big brother. This is betrayal and exploitation.

And if the governor goes ahead with this asinine and insulting plan, we WILL move to another state. Good luck taxing a shrinking population into oblivion.
