New York lawmakers debate $25 vehicle registration fee for upstate drivers

Unless you're NYS then those don't apply to the average Citizen...
NY is unlimited
NY demands licenses and permits for everything: Handguns are a prime example of the ruling being cited.
Color of Law is used in Law Enforcement and "Requirements" "Policies" "edicts" and all sorts of Because I said so applications.
Representation has been mostly if not all one sided for over a Century. Hell, even Elected Representatives from the Republican Party are not notified or invited to Committee or other Meetings in the Legislature, and that's a fact that any (R) there will tell you. We have Taxes upon Taxes, and Rules collecting monies are still taxes no matter how they're labeled.
The State needs a Political overhaul, but it's so well entrenched into the Machine that re-power is going to be the only viable solution, but we can't afford it.

We agree.

The Laws in place are ignored and applied "As Needed" here. Awareness of Law is important. Application in this environment; difficult. But as more people feel the pain of "A little compromise of Freedom and Right" the better chance The People can unite and affect change; in a peaceful and Lawful manner.

Besides, aren’t Licenses and other IDs racist by current lawmakers assertions.

There is a “semi mass transit system” in Buffalo. Of course it is easy to forget, as it is slow speed, low ridership, and basically a tinker toy trolley that loosely serves those living in only 1 town,- Eggertsville, work downtown, and don’t want to pay a monthly parking fee LOL! And after they managed to kill off most downtown Buffalo retail during its’ construction, downtown Buffalo has never been the same. Oh yeah,- can’t forget that they built it above ground (severely ruining most auto access), and put it underground where it could have been elevated like the LIRR. That and those wonderful non weather protected stations downtown that the wind off Lake Erie howls through, and that you could freeze to death while waiting for one to come by.

Yep,- now THAT’s a system worth paying even more tax dollars for!
