Top story on Yahoo, "Obama nixes plan to tax motorists on mileage."

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood raised the suggestion in an earlier interview with the Associated Press. Apparently, Idaho, Massachusetts and North Carolina are developing the plan or similar plans, so it was probably a "feeler" for national opinion but it lets you see what's on their agenda.

Let's see here... insurance, tax, tag and title, licensing, inspection stickers (in some states), gas tax, road repair funds, new construction funds and now this for a system that can't keep up with their own potholes.

Why do I get the urge to throw some tea out of a boat?

Read it yourself, I'm not copy/pasting it.
