Kamala Harris and New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) were met by a large group of demonstrators upset with Covid lockdowns, vaccine mandates and more. The “Kamala is a whore” chant is a reference to Harris’ reputation for sleeping with people for political gains, such as former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Known for being a very liberal city, New Yorkers are becoming increasingly upset with their Democrat leadership as city workers are being fired by the thousands for refusing to take a mandatory Covid vaccine.

Start your day with a laugh. The president of the New Jersey state senate ran against a truck driver. The truck driver (R) won after spending $153.00 on the election. Most of that was spent on donuts for his volunteers.

In the bill that just passed

The objectives of the pilot program are—

(A)to test the design, acceptance, implementation, and financial sustainability of a national motor vehicle per-mile user fee;
(B)to address the need for additional revenue for surface transportation infrastructure and a national motor vehicle per-mile user fee; and
(C)to provide recommendations relating to the adoption and implementation of a national motor vehicle per-mile user fee.

How will they do it:

(1)Tools
In selecting the methods described in subsection (c)(1), the Secretary shall coordinate with entities that voluntarily provide to the Secretary for use under the pilot program any of the following vehicle-miles-traveled collection tools:

(A)Third-party on-board diagnostic (OBD-II) devices.
(B)Smart phone applications.
(C)Telemetric data collected by automakers.
(D)Motor vehicle data obtained by car insurance companies.
(E)Data from the States that received a grant under section 6020 of the FAST Act (23 U.S.C. 503 note; Public Law 114–94) (as in effect on the day before the date of enactment of this Act).
(F)Motor vehicle data obtained from fueling stations.
(G)Any other method that the Secretary considers appropriate.


(e)Motor vehicle per-mile user fees
For the purposes of the pilot program, the Secretary of the Treasury shall establish, on an annual basis, per-mile user fees for passenger motor vehicles, light trucks, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks, which amount may vary between vehicle types and weight classes to reflect estimated impacts on infrastructure, safety, congestion, the environment, or other related social impacts

Acceptance, implimentation, additional revenue.
....got it.
My only question is why acceptance? Do you really think they care if we accept it or not?
Oregon has already been studying this for a number of years now.
You would have a device on your car that tells where you drive and if you drive out of state it turns off and doesn't charge you.
This is federal tho. You supposed they're going to totally drop the federal gas tax and switch to this or just add to what they've already got?

He is supposed to be committed to reducing emissions – but when President Joe Biden produced a little natural gas of his own at the COP26 summit, it was audible enough to make the Duchess of Cornwall blush.

An informed source has told The Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering in Glasgow last week.

'It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,' the source said. 'Camilla hasn't stopped talking about it.'

We’ve gotten used to seeing Republican governors coming out against Joe Biden’s federal vaccine mandate for private-sector employers. In fact, a group of them have already filed a lawsuit seeking to block it. But when you start getting pushback from similarly positioned members of your own party, perhaps it’s time to take the hint. That’s what happened this week when Democratic Kansas Governor Laura Kelly issued a statement objecting to the policy and announcing her decision against enforcing it. Rather than attacking Biden over violations of people’s personal freedoms or privacy, however, Kelly took the much more polite approach of saying that Kansas already has its own plans in place and doesn’t believe that the national mandate is the “most effective” approach and it wouldn’t be the “best fit” for the needs of Kansas residents.
