Three states considering taxing electric cars to compensate for lost gas taxes

Three states considering taxing electric cars to compensate for lost gas taxes — Autoblog Green
"Opting to buy a battery-powered, all-electric vehicle not only frees your vehicle of tailpipe emissions.
It also means owners of plug-ins don't have to pay gas taxes, right?

Well, for residents of the states of Washington, Oregon and Texas, that sort of depends on whether or not soon-to-be introduced legislation to establish Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) taxes for electric vehicles gets passed into law."

You don't think this is coming to Michigan too?
And all to pacify the enviro-loonies and their rich green-car owners.
Tax the poor to subsidize the rich....great!
