My local state is adding weight to our vehicle registration fees, but only slightly (ex: capping out at 5000lbs). There are vehicles as high as 8000+lbs commonly used, and I think those should have higher tax than the 5000lb class vehicles.

Having a cap makes absolutely no sense except politically. There’s not a diminishing impact here whatsoever.

There used to be only one weight tax (erm, registration fee). Now we have two weight classes, 3500lbs and 5000lbs.

Its an improvement, but why stop at two classes? Its nearly as bad as our previous law that was only at one weight class. Might as well follow the pattern at every 1500lbs up until no common vehicles are covered anymore. (6500lb and 8000lb are a natural extension of this new law).

Oh well, we can fix it in next year's debate, I guess?
