Hear we go again

[Fish Taxi]

So.... Here comes a really unpopular post...

Just kidding.

Honestly, going back to Imajigger2's previous comments about transparency, I would really like to know what we actually GET for the $30.00 registration fee. Where does that money go? As far as I can tell, it gets you a sticker and the KDWPT forwards the registration information to your county of residence so they can stick you for property taxes. I guess you also get the reminder card around 3 years later when the renewal is due. I don't feel like paying more than $30.00 for those services...:o

Isn't the $30.00 pretty much just a "record keeping" fee? They don't actually DO anything with that money, do they?

On the other hand... If the registration money goes into the same pool as the fishing license money, then I would tend to be more supportive of an increase in the registration fee compared to a change in the license fee/policy. After all, pleasure boats, ski boats, and jet skis have to pay to register their boats just like fishing boats do.

I guess I would be curious what the registration fee is used for.
