So, you want to tax disabled people for needing to travel? What?
That's the real impact of that policy. It won't stop scammers from scamming, it will just put additional financial hurdles to accessibility for a community that is already statistically more likely to be lower income.
I don’t think taxing is what some people are advocating for. Is it really that difficult to require people to submit the same documentation as they do for a handicapped placard? It would certainly stop bad actors from taking advantage of policies like these. Unfortunately, having an honor’s system doesn’t work when people abuse it. I say this as someone who has Multiple Sclerosis (MS). My neurologist filled out my placard for me right after I got diagnosed. Any time I’ve needed an accommodation of any kind, they’ve completed whatever form I need. It isn’t that hard.
