It singles out for the harshest penalty against those who need to drive the most for work, school, and on behalf of their families,\u201d said Rep. Issa. \u201cEven worse, the mileage tax is only enabled by a mileage tracker \u2013 a device that shadows drivers and captures everywhere they go. This is a dangerous government intrusion, and the potential for abuse and the exposure of personal data may be limitless.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The legislation states that \u201cNo federal funds may be obligated or expended, directly or indirectly, to study, propose, establish, implement, or enforce any State, local, or Federal mileage tax, including through the funding of a mileage tracking program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congressman Issa specifically noted that San Diego County\u2019s Regional Transportation Agency\u2019s (SANDAG) is proposing three new half-cent sales tax increases and a mileage tax for every mile driven to pay for an unprecedented $165 billion expansion of mass transit. Importantly, he added, SANDAG\u2019s finance plan states, \u201cCharging fees for the transportation infrastructure that people use \u2013 for example, charging users for each mile they drive on the highway \u2013 can change travel behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSan Diego has been ground zero for government efforts to impose its agenda on an entire community. The No Track No Tax Act will put an end to these plans and prevent their spread to all communities,\u201d said Issa. \u201cBy prohibiting federal funds for any state, local or federal effort of this kind, we will stop the tracking and the taxing of your freedom to drive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast week, I also introduced the GAS Act to prevent a proposed government ban on the use of gas stoves in people\u2019s homes. Mileage taxes, mileage trackers, and taking away your right to an appliance of your choice are hallmarks of government efforts not to tell you how to live better \u2013 but to tell you how to live.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMileage taxes and the trackers that enable them must be stopped\u201d WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Today, Congressman Darrell Issa introduced the\u00a0No Track No Tax Act, to prevent the funding of both a tax on how far Americans can drive, as well as mileage tracking devices that would calculate that distance. \u201cThe establishment of a mileage tax&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8346,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 -
