All Florida Residents are requested to contact their legislators and make sure the following bill in the legislature applies to Motorcycles as well cars.

It is time past time for all motorcyclist to say enough is enough and Do Not Tax Me For Things I Am Not Getting. TALLAHASSEE BRIEFS Panel chief says car fee will roll back An unpopular 2009 vehicle- registration fee hike will be rolled back, the Senate’s budget chairman promised Thursday. The size of the reduction is still a couple of months from being settled, as lawmakers and Gov. Rick Scott have proposed different bottomline numbers. But Appropriations Chairman Joe Negron, a Stuart Republican who is spearheading the issue in the Senate, assured his colleagues that the final total will be big. “What we can promise people is that the fee decrease will be large and something that they’ll feel,” Negron told members of the Transportation, Tourism, and Economic Development Appropriations Subcommittee. The panel unanimously supported the proposal (SB 156), which is projected to collectively save motorists $185 million during the upcoming budget year, growing to $236.7 million the following year. The reductions would translate to about $12 per vehicle registration fee, or half the 2009 increase. Scott, who was at a Brandon Honda dealership on Wednesday as he continues to promote his proposal to roll back the 2009 hike by $400 million, called the vote an “important first step.”
