In an act that seems outrageously anti-upstate NY, (we don't have subways!), our illustrious governor has decided to soak us all for new license plates (at $25 a pop) next April, whether we need them or not. Seems a lot of folks think not, as the petition linked to below already has over 5000 signatures.
New Yorkers, go HERE to sign the petition against this action. St. Lawrence County Clerk Patricia Ritchie began it and says, "It’s an outrage to ask families and businesses to pay more for new license plates they don’t need or want when they are being battered by the ongoing recession."

ReplyDeletepetition didn't work :-(
ReplyDeleteSounds like here, our county is now adding a fee onto the already high state DMV fee, and I got a request for our income tax forms for the previous 4 years, because we sold items in the city without a separate city business license, where a state business license used to suffice.
ReplyDelete"They" spend all their time thinking up new fees, instead of tightening their belts. Our property taxes went up 7 - 10%, but the cattle prices went down much more than that. Someday these turnips will yield no more!
anon, what next!
ReplyDeleteWR, worked okay for us. Maybe someone has hacked it or something?
Nita, everywhere you go, folks who pay the taxes and fees are getting hit up for more and more. The turnip sentence says it well!
This gimmick is absolutely absurd. And what is with the yellow plates? Who are we, Jersey?
