You know, I didn’t mind paying $10 for a sticker for my ATV. It seems reasonable to me that those who use the outdoors should contribute to its upkeep. But the new rules from Fremont County are getting out of hand.
Now, instead of simply buying a sticker from any local business and going riding, you have to get a license plate (available only from the county — 40 miles away in St. Anthony,) and you still have to buy the sticker somewhere else to boot. Then, once you have the plate, you have to figure out how to affix it to your machine and go through all that hassle.
Here’s a thought. Why not just increase the price of the stickers? Wouldn’t that serve everyone? If you’re going to tax us for our fun, why not at least make it easy on us? There’s no reason to force everyone to to go clear to the valley. These are not cars. We don’t use them on the road. We use them infrequently for recreation. Why make everyone miserable?
This is undoubtedly the brainchild of yet another politician with an insatiable hunger to get into the pockets of the average American. You ask yourself, “When will it be enough?” The answer is, when they have everything you have. Then it will be enough.
