Opposition Letter — S.2874 Ending Debt-Based Driving Restrictions (Excise Tax Enforcement)
Board unanimously approved a letter to Sen. O'Connor and Rep. Meschino opposing S.2874, which would eliminate RMV license holds for unpaid motor vehicle excise taxes, warning it could cut Hull's ~$1.66M excise revenue and force property-tax increases.
💰 Hull excise tax revenue ~$1,663,903/yr; uncollected ~$58,500; statewide risk up to $440M
Why this matters: Loss of enforcement could raise property taxes for all owners.
