Nobody likes the idea of an extra tax
Peter, the concept is sound, but may a suggest a tweak or two so it’s more popular with voters? Make it a tax ONLY on rental cars, in effect making it appear the tourists will pay for it. Increase the fee to $500 so it will still cover all vehicles, including non-rental cars. Although this will increase the average cost of a used car from the retired rental fleet by $500, ignore that consequence of the program while stressing the $100 dollars used car owners will get back when they turn in the car. The skills taught by our Hawaii DOE math classes should help make this misdirection a great success.
“Does anyone in the audience have $500? Thank you. Now watch closely, as I turn it into ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!”
