Kathy,
Maine must be doing well then. Wisconsin is broke, cutting back government
services for rehab, cutting back education budgets and the governor is on
a hot trail to eliminate 12,000 government jobs on his watch to save $$.

Brad,
Yes, to a point, but then the state determines that, no matter how junky
or
old, they won't go any lower. I think that the bottom tax rate is around
$100, which ends up meaning that you could pay $100 to the state per year
to drive around a hunk of junk that you'd be lucky to give away if you
could. Maine tends to tax anything, whether it moves or not!
