This bill is so stupid, like seriously? They really think taxing motorists more is gonna solve anything? It's just gonna make it harder for regular folks like me to get around. Why should I have to pay more just to drive to work or visit my family? It's ridiculous. They need to focus on real solutions, not just squeezing more money out of us. This is gonna hit me right in the wallet, and I'm not happy about it at all.
