[TR] WA residents - Proposed changes to the Collector Plate law

[Bob Danielson]

You might want to check (and bookmark) the SEMA site section 
(http://www.semasan.com/main/main.aspx?id=62843) that deals with 
registration, tags, titles etc. on a state by state basis. It even has the 
Canadian provinces. Heck....it even lists what state legislators support our 
hobby and which ones don't.

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?
