Yes, Californians definitely pay more to their state government for the honor of being able to drive in their state. If I were living there right now I would probably be wondering where the money goes, too. I mean, besides what went to special interest groups and powerful state lobbyists. Ohio may be bad - I cannot deny that - but al least the state has to pass a balanced budget every year. This, unfortunately, forces things like fee car, motorcycle and driver's license fees to pay for so many wonderful things in the Dept. of Public Safety.
