(snicker)
The proposal strikes many owners of alternative-fuel vehicles and some
advocacy groups as a wrong-headed approach to balancing priorities of

maintain the roads they use and construct new ones.
At least 10 states are considering or have passed legislation to
collect fees from owners of electric or hybrid cars.
