But... here in the People's Republic of California, our boats are taxed
by the county as personal property. It can be a lot of money, depending
on the boat.

LOL! Yup, but the trailer is what we're really talking about. Besides, if
the prop tax is that much, you prolly aint trailerin' the boat.

We also have, in the county (Fairfax County, VA) , a personal property tax
on boats. That's another reason my boat is home ported in Maryland.

California quit renewing trailer plates. You get a PTI (Permanent Trailer Identification)
sticker and that's it..

Knowing that my boat trailer plates expire tomorrow, I went to the
license facility to get them renewed. the typical $18.00 per year fee.

The guy behind the counter said. "Tim I have good news and bad news for
you"

""Huh?"

"Yeah, they dropped the fee a buck to $17.00...but they also are up for
renewal next April"

"WHAT??"

The grand State of ILL. thinks that it's too much of a rush to have ALL
"T/A" plates due at the same time, so they want to kick them back to
April to give our poor and over worked in the State License Dept. some
more spread to handle the overflow of license processing.

So! they dropped back a buck and short changed everbody with "T/A"
plates a couple months. When you consider everything involved, they
should have discounted approx. $3.00, but not so is the case. I
didn't ask if plates were going to be for a full year as usual? Or, if
they're only going to be good for only 10 mo. instead???

So! it looks to me like they are finding a new way to generate a few
more million in coin, to feed the state coffers, just to find more ways
to spend more than they are taking in.
Not much suprises me anymore. It seems like dealing with the State of
Sickinois, people say remarks like "at least they could provide their
own Vaseline..." I usually return with something like "What do you
need Vaseline for, when you're going to get the *barbed-wire wrapped
around a broom handle* treatment?"

grrrrr!
