I'm sure you let his entire staff know that you not only voted, but donated, and gave them an earful. I have zero problem paying for things, as long as the charges are tied to some vague interpretation of reality which isn't the case which your deal rn. I have the exact opposite problem in that I personally wish our Republican legislature out here would raise my taxes and fix our roads, but there was a huge showdown just to keep a minimal level of funding this year compared to what is needed. We just had the worst winter in recorded history stretching back to the 1800's and the potholes are insane. You'd think they'd want to address that, but that's gotta be a battle too because you're not allowed to say anything that could even be remotely reframed as a tax increase.

I'd be fine with one or two hundred a month if the notion they were passing was well written (it's not) and was assured that the road fee will always go towrard roads (it might not) but I think the current language and implementation isn't there yet.
