My 25 year old truck registration tabs are almost $200.

Olympia cannot blame affordability on anyone but themselves.

Rant over.

You have been consistent for 20 years. Good for you. No surprises.
BTW this is irony

Well…the masses wanted this reality.

That's nothing compared to current gas prices. 2 weeks ago I filled up at $4.35 to get ahead of it. A buddy needed a ride to the airport so I just refilled at $6.10. My next fishing trip is going to be $200 more than normal....

I won't mention the politics of it here, but I think it's pretty obvious to anybody paying attention.

I can point to many, many reasons for the affordability crisis that have nothing to do with state government. But I won't in the interest of not violating any forum rules. Well, maybe one, since it showed up in the news today: Private Equity and Childcare Costs Investigated. So many other examples...

i dont know anything, but i doubt registration fees are tracking with the year of the vehicle. if a vehicle uses the roads, i dont thing it should matter how old the vehicle is.

Different states have different taxes, but all of them can all be counted on to tax us.

Im FOR-GOING the fees!!! These days im just OPTING OUT!!! Basically, when comes down to it the bottom line is: look, I ain't paying. They're just gonna have to DEAL with it!!

Just be glad you do not live with King County and rapid transit fee increases .

I drive it less than 1000 miles per year... I think your registration cost should be relative to how much the roads in your county cost to maintain including new construction.

I just threw up a little.

Well, with 12 months to play with you could probably do that with a bike.

I checked the price of my tabs for my 2018 Kia Soul and they are about the same as previous years. I was curious if there was a new addition to the tabs or not, well at least not for me! The Discover Pass has gone up in price to $45, but I don't buy one and haven't for years! Other than not remembering my password on the stupid DOL site and dealing with that it's pretty easy!
