As far as the request to let counties add $25 to the annual vehicle registration fee to pay to remove abandoned vehicles, Sen. Lorraine Inouye, a north Hawaii Island Democrat who chairs the Senate Transportation Committee, said the counties already have that authority.

We already pay a "vehicle disposal fee" on our annual registration -- however, County has decreed that this only applies on public roads, while most derelict vehicles are disposed of on private roads. Increasing this fee will NOT solve the problem.

Nothing to worry about... from the article you posted... once they make legal car ownership prohibitively expensive they have this:

"Other measures in the Council of Mayors’ package would regulate so-called “transportation network companies” such as Uber and Lyft, and require them to pay fees..."

As usual the only answers are increase taxes/fees. Fiscal responsibility is solely a taxpayer's responsibility.
