Yeah, that really sucks. But, come to think of it, all states have their ways of extracting tax dollars from the ol' wallet. NJ has horrendous property taxes (each successive administration promises "reform" but it never seems to go down), a state income tax and 7% sales tax. In addition, I get no state tax benefit from purchasing a hybrid.

Like it or not, the cost of state government (well-run or not) falls squarely on our backs.
