“A new bill going through Sacramento would tax drivers for every mile they are on the road.  State transit officials note that there’s not nearly enough money available to fix the many bridges and roads in California that are in desperate need of repair.  A federal highway fund, based on taxes on fuel, is expected to run dry this summer.  Under SB 1077, introduced by DeSaulnier, a still-to-be-determined California city would begin taxing motorists in January 2016. The longer your commute, the more you would pay.  That may yet be a tough sell, but a $0.05 per mile fee could raise over $100 billion for roads in some parts of the state.”
