Oh, they'll spend the new revenue just as they promised. But, they'll deduct an equivalent amount from the current DPS appropriation and spend it elsewhere. The legislature still determines what everyone's budget is, regardless of where the funds come from. As you said - it's another tax.

In California, the legislature passed a $.12 per gallon gasoline tax increase and raised our vehicle registration fees by $100 per year in order to “pay for road repair.”
They’ve used the previous gas taxes, that were supposed to be used for road repair, to help fund the states bloated pensions and our bullet train to nowhere. Diesel fuel was taxed even higher. And the public fell for it and voted NOT to overturn the tax increase in the last election.

I still cannot get over the no repeal. Maybe they like getting screwed by our brilliant legislators  |

Yes, seems like the motorist is always an easy target 
As a comparison, in Australia we've had import parity pricing on fuel since 1978, and currently we pay the equivalent of USD 0.30 per litre on petrol and diesel fuels. That's around USD 21.00 to our government on a 70 litre fill.
Cheers,

As you say, just more shell games from Government Ron, it never ends. |
