Tax tax tax tax tax! More taxes mean more$$$$$$$$!!!! CA_CHING!!!!!!!

Does it matter who is at fault? If it doesn’t…I am thinking I will stay out of Sacramento altogether. Cant afford to have some idiot hit me. By the way, what if I (non-resident) gets hit by some another non-resident? Do we both get taxed? Am I the only one who thinks this is a dumb idea to make money?

Aren’t firefighters paid from local taxes anyway? why use a new tax to keep paying the same people who are already getting paid from other tax money..

The thugs in government are at it again. Not only are they cowards, they don’t tax the ones who can vote, they are in violation of the US Constitution. They need to be run our of town on a rail. Just imagine, the Fire department is going to charge 5000 dollars for every fender bender, 10000 dollars if your car happens to spill some fuel, 20000 dollars is anybody is hauled to the hospital. It is all a money scam to ripe off people who can’;t vote for the thugs to kick them out of office. It is no coincidence3e they are liberals, that is the way liberals think.

So us people who live in areas like Orangevale are considered non-resident? I am sure that more than half the people who go to Sacramento everyday do not live in Sacramento. That’s not fair. The taxes we pay should be paying for any emergency services required.

Well i’m not a fan of this tax either, but it certainly doesn’t violate the Constitution. When was the last time you actually read the Constitution? And Glenn Beck “reading it to you” doesn’t count!

Good for Sacramento. I will of course no longer do business in the city or visit it from Placer County. If I was a resident or business in the city I would raise hell

Wow! This just might be the straw that broke the camel’s back in regards to the Sacramento Kings future…as a long time Kings season ticket holder, I no longer feel welcome in the city of Sacramento.

The Sacramento City Council has and always will be a bastion of idiots. In their faces you will see that blank stare that says “Hold your ear to my head and you will hear the ocean”

Taxation without represntation just sets the stage for more litigation. This makes lawyers smile all the way to the bank too

Holly Cow! It is bad enough to be in an accident. But to charged with it to even it is not your fault. Bummer!!! Is there a new Continent I can discovery where there is little to no TAXES?????

If the accident is not my fault you think we can add that claim on to the insurance claim?? I agree that Sacramento just made their City unwelcoming to visitors. So you think there will be a disclaimer on the Welcome to Sacramento signs?!?!?

Ditto to what everyone else has said here, and double to Bill Terry!
As far as I’m concerned Sacramento no longer needs my business.
Also, it doesn’t read as one vehicle being taxed, I suppose each vehicle will be taxed.if it’s a multi car accident.
Talk about digging yourself out of a budget crises at the taxpayer’s expense!
I suppose the city needs to build their budget to enable raises and additional hires this year?

Well, I will no longer go to Sacramento to spend my $$$$.
Think I’ll put a proposal before our local government, to respond in kind to tourist from Sac & HB!

TAXATION WITHOUT PROPER REPRESENTATION!!!!! Once again Sacramento City Council are idiots.

Did you not see the quote marks… This is not really a tax, it is a charge for services rendered. This is also standard practice in many locations. It is apparently a slow news day.

What if the other person is at fault? Would I still get a bill for being a non resident? Thanks for the heads up I’ll do my shopping else where in stead of going to Sacramento. I would go up there at least once a month and shop now I’ll go else where. There goes more sales tax revenue.

The actions by the city will have unintended consequences that will affect small local businesses if those of us that work in Sacramento start boycotting local businesses. Small business owners need to tell the city this stupid law could put them out of business. Sacramento is the friggin state capital and a destination spot for many families taking their children to see the museums etc, god forbid you make an honest mistake and have a fender bender while making this trip as you will be surcharged for it. CRAZY!!!!

Local residents will pay this tax and they won;t even know it. If a non resident is charged this fee, in almost every instance their insurance carrier will pay the fee (that is nto the point the fee is still wrong) if the non resident is not at fault his insurance carrier wiill seek reimbursement from the party at fault and if that person is a Sacramento resident, guess what, that Sacramento resident just paid the fee!!! I am absolutely sure the city council is aware of this also. BOYCOTT Sacramento, make sure you have guess before you leave ELK Grove, Carmichael or wherever, drive the extra mile or two to eat lunch in Citrus Heights, maybe they will get the message if not it will at least make you feel better

This is a double tax and illegal. We already pay state and sales taxes.

If these bung hole politicians were more responsible with the tax payers dollar, our dollars, this State wouldn’t be in the mess it is. This tax is stupid, we already pay taxes for these services and now they want to impose another bogus tax. What a crock.

Funny, again politicians tax the regular people and not the rich people who pay little or no taxes…the idiots from saramento have been laid off from the state are now working for the city now…

Is that constitutional?

The fire Department is paid from local taxes. This is just another way of taxing while it is not called a tax. This will drive people out of the city so why spend money to rejuvinate the down town area and then pass a tax to drive them away. The four council members that voted against the tax needs to take action to recend it.
