West Side taxing everything

Sat., March 2, 2019

Yesterday we got our license renewal for our car. Not $35 but $88. On that is $48 for miscellaneous items. Then I opened the paper to see that the West Side of the state (Democrats) are at it again. They want to raise gas taxes and license fees again to help pay for the west side. It’s bad enough that people have to drive over to state lines to buy gas.

They need to learn to live with what they have other than putting a tax on everything. This is why I won’t live in the city of Spokane. I don’t want to pay a $20 sin fee on owning a vehicle or two.
