Just say NO to Obama

As a DISABLED American Citizen who is just getting by with Medicare and Humana HMO…I say leave well enough alone!!! The last MAJOR change i had to suffer thru was the Medicare Prescription Drug Disaster…not ready to go thru MAJOR Changes of Doctors, Specialists, Medicines,etc etc etc.

The rather simple solution is the leave those of us ALONE who are doing OK on the current system…If you must put 50 Million additional Americans,Illegals and others on a system….give everyone Medicare and make them pay the $93.00 Monthly Premium!

Raped at the D.M.V.

From THe Daytona Beach News-Journal…

DAYTONA BEACH — Starting Sept. 1, it’s going to cost a whole lot more to be a Florida driver.

Obtaining and renewing vehicle registrations, titles and driver’s licenses got more expensive after state lawmakers decided to hike the fees — to more than double in some cases.

“I personally voted against the fee increases; unfortunately, it was still passed by the majority in the Legislature and will go into effect on September 1st,” said Rep. Dwayne Taylor, D-Daytona Beach.

The fee increases for renewing vehicle registrations vary by the weight of the vehicle. As of now, the owner of an average vehicle pays roughly $27.10 for an annual registration and $55.20 for a two-year registration. After Sept. 1, however, the cost for a single-year registration will increase to $45.65.

And the cost of renewing a driver’s license will increase from $20 to $48. That’s not counting the tax collector’s service fee for processing driver’s license transactions, which will increase by $1 to $6.25.

The increases are big, said area tax collectors like Flagler County Tax Collector Suzanne Johnston. It’s why her office’s staff members are reminding residents every chance they get to do their vehicle registration and driver’s license renewals before the new fees take effect.

Residents can save some of the impact to their wallets by renewing their licenses up to 180 days before they expire. And residents can renew vehicle registrations up to 90 days before their expirations with an option to register for up to two years.

An early two-year vehicle registration renewal done before the new fees take effect could essentially give residents two years for slightly more than the new price for one, Johnston said.

Driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations aren’t the only fees on the rise, either, officials said. For instance, the cost for a vehicle title is currently $29.75. After Sept. 1, that price jumps to $75.75.
