Cut excise tax
I don't remember when the excise tax was rated on the new price of the vehicle, but that is certainly an unfair tax.
I do remember that when a vehicle got to be a certain age, there was a minimum tax, and that seemed to be fair.
Let's not hold our breath waiting for elected representatives to introduce a bill that will be fairer; we will turn blue.
I plan on voting "yes" on Question 2, just for that reason. If someone can prove to me that the powers that be will introduce a fairer bill, then I might reconsider my vote.

I didn't say or imply any of that.
I said Scarcelli might have been a plant to weaken the D's. The article suggested coordination between Scarcelli and the Republicans. The rest of your comment is just the usual R paranoia.
Please name a single conservative D who has run as an independent who coordinated their campaign with State D's to take votes away from Republican candidates.

And there is no Medicare
And there is no Medicare fraud either.
Given the Federal Government’s current track record at enforce similar laws; there is a high probability of fraud, part of which could be providing services to undocumented immigrants.
Regardless of Mr. Nachman’s affiliation and considering the Government’s track record, his assertions are plausible and likely.

And Bob, my 11 year old was reading over my shoulder because he has to find a current event to write about for school and he says, "If that man can't spell maybe he should go back to school and learn, don't you know how to use a dictionary"....just thought it was cute that my 11 year old in public school thinks he can spell better than an adult.
