[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is nothing more than yet another law designed to line DC’s coffers. We all know DC isn’t going to spend this newfound $40m on fixing the roads, even if Cheh “hopes” it’s used for that. This law will have the same effect on improving the roads and safety as the speed cameras have had on safety — which is to say, nothing at all. All it will do is bring in revenue.

Meanwhile, crime is increasing and city services are mediocre on a good day. But what we really need to do is tax people based on the size of their vehicles![/quote]

Blah blah blah. Seems like we have the racist who hates DC back!  We all know what your agenda is.[/quote]

What in the world?? That was my first post on this thread. How am I a racist with an agenda for pointing out that this new law is misplaced and is nothing more than a revenue source for the city? Perhaps you responded to the wrong post. [/quote]

DP.  Discouraging too-big-for-the-roads and bad-for-the-roads trucks isn't misplaced, IMO.  [/quote]

Unfortunately, that's no what it does because of the EV exception.  [/quote]

EV vehicles also reduce pollution, which in DC is 100% due to cars.  That's why there is an exception for them.

I grew up out West where the cars are all huge.  Moving to DC was a welcome change.  We don't need giant vehicles here, we shouldn't have giant vehicles here.[/quote]
