There is a huge money grab that really going to effect everything, from heating your home, buying gas for your vehicle to buying groceries. 40 cents a gallon on fuel.
Part 2: They talk about the state income tax and bringing people to Maine.
Part 3: Maine Rep. Rich Cebra calls in and he has introduced 3 different bills, LD10 “An Act To Provide That Inspections of New Motor Vehicles Are Valid for 2 Years”, LD270 “An Act To Eliminate Certain Motor Vehicle Inspections in the State” and LD389 “An Act To Require Biennial State Motor Vehicle Inspections”. They discuss the perceived safety that an inspection provides and how pot holes and salt/sand effects. They talk about the loss of money to the state. Rich gives his thoughts and reasons to put forth these bills.
Part 4: They also discuss an important detail. There will be a lot of lawsuits to fight this if it is passed, because it it unconstitutional. Ray does some of the math to give you some concrete numbers and they discuss the endless and trickle down effects.
