I'm fine with a car tax in theory, but the way that CT does it with it tied to your township mil rate is really unfair. People who live in lower-property-value towns have higher mil rates to make up the difference in tax revenue. That means that the exact same car will be taxed at much higher rate in more impoverished areas than in wealthier areas. It is very regressive the way it is implemented currently.
If you are going to tax cars, there should be a set mil rate that is applied statewide so that the wealthy don't get to pay fewer taxes on the same car as compared to someone of lower socioeconomic status.

It is a flea and tick collar that is good for 6-8 months. You can find it with a Google search. It repels ticks on top of killing them. Vet said it is safe to use in combination with most oral and topical flea and tick meds as long as your dog hasn’t exhibited adverse reactions to most other preventatives. We’ve been really impressed with how well it works keeping ticks off the dogs. It isn’t 100%, but it is far better than when we used Simparica alone.

We use Simparica Trio for both of ours, too. When tick season is especially bad, like when the tiny nymphs are out, we also add on a soresto collar to repel ticks. We spend a lot of time in the woods, so it is needed.

That just isn’t true at all. I looked through the list and can’t find a single town that charges a higher mil rate on vehicles than on other property. The only time it differ is when vehicle tax is lower due to the state cap. This is publicly available information.
