Registration Increase?? What the He double hockey sticks!

[Lakegeezer]

The increases in watercraft registration fees make sense to me. After the business and interest/dividend taxes, the state lives largely on usage tax and profits on liquor. The state is going broke. Yes, it should find services to cut, but today, it is going broke. Doubling the registration fees on watercraft use causes grumbling, but most people will dig into their wallets and pay it. The public also grumbles about needing more enforcement of the marine nanny laws, including speed, passage and rafting. This doesn't come for free. Pay for play, I say.
