[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most states don’t have the yearly car use tax (some do). When I lived in Ohio we didn’t have it. But we did have: local income tax in the vast majority of suburbs, that wasn’t taken out of your paycheck, so you had a pretty big bill due every spring when the tax agency calculated it. We had higher sales tax - though not on food/groceries like here. And a much higher property tax rate. A home listed at $485k in my hometown had a property tax bill of $6000. A home listed at $715k in my current zip code here has a property tax bill of $6100. Unless they massively cut spending somewhere else, we’ll be paying the bill in other ways.

What Youngkin needs to do away with is the yearly car safety inspection requirement. That’s a massive pain in the ass and isn’t necessary anymore. [/quote]

Although the car tax has prevented me from buying a new car for the past 20 years, and I really should have moved to DC because of it, I do agree that the year car safety inspection is absurd and useless. It needs to go.[/quote]
