Quoted: How much were they/are they now? ByteTheBullet (-: Was $25 for the first year only with $22 going to the conservation programs and no renewals to keep the tag (other than normal tag fees). Now it is $35 every year with only $10 going to the conservation programs. Joe |

Just another prime example of how the .gov has no economic sense at all.
You raise to price on a good and the market determines if they will pay that price. If not it doesn't sell The same thing happened with the super speeder fine to help finance the ga trauma network. Guess what! People slowed down! Generated almost nothing!! It's amazing how the .gov has all of these people running things yet no one understands basic economic principles. |

| Yeah, I turned in my 2 Trout Unlimited tags, and got 2 new replacements. Seems to me like this is actually COSTING money. Those of us with the one time fee tags are turning in old tags and getting new tags. If the boys under the gold dome had been smart, they would have waited until the new tags come out next year. Now they'll have to give all of us new tags this year, and next year. Not only greedy, dumb. But then how often do those boys actually think things through and consider possible consequences? |
| My wife and I kept ours. $35 a year is only a little less than $3 a month. I know not much of the money goes to supporting the cause, but everyone that looks at my license plate may be inspired to support their cause in the future. Who knows. If it goes up more next year, I may reconsider. |

The other part is that most cops feel like 85 on the interstate is in no way "super" anything and therefore reduce the tickets to 84 or less, keeping it out of super speeder territory. I know lots of guys that do this. |

How many threads do we have to have about this? I think this is the third or fourth.
I think you should have to pay extra every year for the specialty plates. After all, you keep them on your car every year. I do think it was pretty dumb of the state to raise the price and lower the amount going to conservation or wherever else it goes. |

I don't understand why you can't stop looking at the thread without replying if it bothers you that much. :-p Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
