I recently read that the city council is looking to spread the tax burden equally. That is funny (“A Stronger Vancouver Proposal City council mulls levies, priorities,” The Columbian, Nov. 21).
Why would I say that? Well, our car tabs are possibly going down because people are fed up with living in a state where they don’t enforce the law on car tabs when there are thousands of people who never register their cars in Washington. This has been going on for years, and I don’t understand it. I live in a small Sunnyside neighborhood just south of Padden Parkway, 94th Avenue and 76th Street and Interstate 205, and in my neighborhood we have at least 20 cars with Oregon plates. So until you make it equal for all, people will be upset when you say you want more money for roads and transportation. Start enforcing the law.
