Default Now, THIS is just what we need!

Beginning Dec. 1, Arizona motorists expecting vehicle registration renewals will see a new Public Safety Fee. The fee was established by state law to support public safety and Highway Patrol operations. The fee goes into effect for registrations due in January which can be paid as early as Dec. 1, and immediately for newly registered vehicles.
The fee will be collected during the vehicle-registration process administered by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division. Arizona statute established the method for collecting the fee and sets the process for determining the amount based on a formula designed to support Highway Patrol operations.
Highway Patrol operations — among the most visible functions of the Arizona Department of Public Safety — include response to collisions on Arizona highways, enforcing state laws designed to keep the motoring public safe, arresting impaired drivers, assisting motorists in distress, air-rescue operations and patrolling more than 6,800 miles of highways.
Most motorists will pay $32 per vehicle, per year. Street-legal golf carts and primarily off-highway vehicles will pay $5. Those who register a vehicle annually or pay for a two- or five-year registration will pay the entire amount up front for each registered year.
The funds raised through the Public Safety Fee will not only provide necessary dollars for public safety, but will advance maintenance and construction of Arizona’s highway infrastructure, including the state’s Key Commerce Corridors that support economic development around the state.
Over the past decade, much of the Highway Patrol’s budget was considered part of the Arizona Highway User Revenue Fund, the gas-tax account that supports Arizona roadways, including law-enforcement support. The new $32 Public Safety Fee will allow gas-tax money to support roadway maintenance and construction, while providing a different source of funding for Highway Patrol operations.
For more information: www.azdot.gov/mvd.

More taxation!

Makes you wonder what entitlement programs they will spend these monies on and then come back to ask for additional money for the purported purpose these taxes were assessed.

How nice ...

Oh, they'll spend the new revenue just as they promised. But, they'll deduct an equivalent amount from the current DPS appropriation and spend it elsewhere. The legislature still determines what everyone's budget is, regardless of where the funds come from. As you said - it's another tax.

In California, the legislature passed a $.12 per gallon gasoline tax increase and raised our vehicle registration fees by $100 per year in order to “pay for road repair.”
They’ve used the previous gas taxes, that were supposed to be used for road repair, to help fund the states bloated pensions and our bullet train to nowhere. Diesel fuel was taxed even higher. And the public fell for it and voted NOT to overturn the tax increase in the last election.

Yes, seems like the motorist is always an easy target
As a comparison, in Australia we've had import parity pricing on fuel since 1978, and currently we pay the equivalent of USD 0.30 per litre on petrol and diesel fuels. That's around USD 21.00 to our government on a 70 litre fill.


Cheers,
Glen

"I still cannot get over the no repeal. Maybe they like getting screwed by our brilliant legislators"

Consider the law makers and who voted for them....

I agree completely with Carl. I voted against it as I knew any road work would be done down in Orange County where the wealthy who keep these crooks in office live. And last week on TV they showed all of the road improvements being done and they were in Orange County. We haven's seen a pot hole filled in up here let alone any paving or road work.

I would be willing to bet that Hawaii enacts that tax within the next 3 years.
Just sayin.

As you say, just more shell games from Government Ron, it never ends.

Corruptifornia is the new model for other states politicians to follow! One has to remember why our ancestors succeeded from England, “No taxatition without representation!”.

And as a California born "kid", that's why I left California in 1989! With politicians, its just a shell game. You can have the money but you have to guess which shell its under. And actually it had already been scraped off the table into their pockets when they started to shuffle the shells for you the chump watching!
