Mr. Quartino,

You are an example of someone who doesn't understand the car tax formula, never attended a car tax reform bill hearing, and never read Mattiello's BS bill. Had you done any of the aforementioned, you would not have been surprised as to what little tax savings this bill has. Cranston residents will see a $4.21 savings per thousand of evaluation. So clearly you have 2 vehicles valued at about $10,000 after the exemption. Gee, how would I know that? I can read.

With 5 minutes of research you could extrapolate to the penny, the exact savings you could expect. However, since you are completely uninformed, let me educate you on a few points. As Rep. Shekarchi has stated, there is no money to continue this bill after the second year. The bill was written under the same formula as what was written and failed in 1997. The phase out will not work and the GA will re-institute the tax and withdraw the phase out after the second year. Did you really believe that this crumb Mattiello would actually produce a bill that would work? Check the drinking water in Cranston. Even if we were to fantasize that this bill was to work, that would mean in 2023 we would be right back to where we were in 2007. 16 years to go backwards. You think this is good? Maybe you should actually read the bills that are presented so you can understand them.
