Letter - Some vehicle owners aren't paying their fair share

I do understand that we need more money to maintain and upgrade our Minnesota road system, but do not agree with raising the gas tax.

To the editor:

I do understand that we need more money to maintain and upgrade our Minnesota road system, but do not agree with raising the gas tax.

Instead of raising the gas tax, I would recommend that we place a tax on hybrid and electric cars. As it is, they are using the highways without paying their fair share. A simple way to collect this tax would be to add it to the cost of their license plates.
