Having a driveway is a privilege, young man. ‘Driveway tax’ coming to Mission

In Mission, it just got a little more expensive to have a driveway on your home. Or small business. Or church. Basically, if you have slanted asphalt on your property, it’s time to pony up.

The town’s city council passed a resolution last week paving the way for a so-called “driveway tax” on homes and business that cause traffic and wear and tear on streets. If you use the roads, the city says, it’s your responsibility to keep them functioning.
