Massachusetts may consider a mileage charge
By GLEN JOHNSON - 11 hours ago 

BOSTON (AP) - A tentative plan to overhaul Massachusetts' transportation system 
by using GPS chips to charge motorists a quarter-cent for every mile behind the 
wheel has angered some drivers.

"It's outrageous, it's kind of Orwellian, Big Brotherish," said Sen. Scott 
Brown, R-Wrentham, who drafted legislation last week to prohibit the practice. 
"You'd need a whole new department of cronies just to keep track of it."

But a "Vehicle Miles Traveled" program like the one the governor may unveil 
this week has already been tested - with positive results - in Oregon.
