Representatives Ross (D-Wake) and Weiss (D-Wake) have introduced House Bill 394 to raise the vehicle tax in Raleigh from $20 to $25 to raise funds for "...transportation-related purposes, including sidewalks."
So Raleigh is short of money for "transportation-related purposes?" I would suggest they look at the money they are spending on signs downtown and $250,000 studies they have done previously, before they hit up hard pressed taxpayers for more money.
Of course if you are a legislator who thinks that you should impose new taxes for whatever reason you probably won't take my advice.
