We already have that fee here in NY. I believe it is even more $ if you get a
period plate. Last year our county also added a 10$ annual fee to every
registration, car, motorcycle, trailer. So here I am with 3 TRs, 2 cycles, a
pop-up and our everyday cars that adds 80$ every year. On top of that we have
the highest sales tax in the US.
New Jersey tried to get a bill passed that required a 10$ plate fee for every
bicycle. If caught without the plate there would be a 100$ fine. So little
Johnny would be out riding his bike and be pulled over by the cops and marched
off to jail if he didn't cough up the 10$. Did I mention that Johnny is only 8
years old?
Next it will be a tax stamp for my running sneakers with a GPS chip attached
so I pay per mile.
Did I say I was moving out of NYS soon after retirement?
