Under republican leadership car registration went from $12 to $100 for me
Property taxes went from $575 to $3200 a year (only years they stayed constant was during Doyle go figure)
Hunting and fishing fees went up 10 to 30 fold.
The government board controlling utility fees and taxes allowed a 330% increase in a 5 year timeframe.
The state has sold more municipal bonds in the last 5 years than in its entire history (but that's not debt)
At least gas taxes didn't go up?
I fail to see where conservative values led to fewer taxes.

Looks to me like they are trying to copy the Democrats in my state...
Except we ALSO increased gas taxes too. We briefly had the highest in the country last year until Pennsylvania retook that dubious honor.
Our
EV tax is $150/year on top of all the other fees. PHEV are specifically
included in this if they can travel more than 30 miles on just electricity. This for a state that theoretically promotes "going green".
