The plan, which could save drivers money annually, balances the need to fund essential services like road maintenance while supporting everyday families. A final vote looms on August 12 — and if approved, it could bring real relief to drivers in the coming year. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
