As for me, I had another vehicle registration renewal come due since I wrote, and it was at the prior-year rate. I didn’t waste any time getting my butt down to the agency to take care of it. And of course, I mentioned to the girl at the counter that I wanted to get it done before it, too, increased. She, like the other before her, leaned across the counter and lowered her voice to speak rather unkindly about Corzine.

I was talking to someone else, a teacher, the other day when the topic of MVS fee increases came up. She pointed out that the cost of a title had risen from US$20 to US$60! I haven’t confirmed it, but that makes the lousy 106% increase I griped about seem awfully trivial.

Finally, it’d be bummer if you chose to move now – what with home prices off by about 30%. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

I urge everyone to vote that SOB out.
