Letter: Stop punishing consumers for doing the right thing
Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune Drivers line up at Costco in Salt Lake to fill up their tanks with some of the cheapest gas prices around on Friday, Jan. 23, 2015.State Rep. Mike Schultz, R-Hooper, as co-chair of the Legislative Transportation and Funding Task Force, wants to raise registration fees on electric cars to $200 and hybrid cars to $75, in an effort to raise money for highway maintenance. This effort is directly out of the Americans for Prosperity advocacy group founded by the conservative billionaire brothers David H. and Charles G. Koch, whose wealth comes from the oil business.
