fees, wtf?
i saw in monday's paper (sorry, wisco journal's site seems to be having problems right now) that they want to increase the fee for renewing wisconsin state driver's licenses to "cover the full cost of complying with a federal anti-terrorism law".
there's also an unrelated desire to raise vehicle registration fees because "wisconsinites are driving less". wtf? with gas at $3.40-$3.50 in madison, of course people ought to be driving less.
and know what i just noticed this am? state vehicles don't have to display registration stickers. i wonder how much money could be generated if they had to pay annual fees to drive a car around all day.
