SAYWARD: LEGISLATURE MUST DO RIGHT THING FOR NEW YORKERS: ELIMINATE UNFAIR LICENSE FEE
“I am very hopeful that when we reconvene next week, we will be able to come together to provide an effective, sensible plan to address our massive budget deficit. While we’re at it, it is incumbent upon the Legislature to eliminate the new license plate fee created in this year’s budget. Simply put, the newly-created fee – one of over a hundred new or increased fees enacted this year – was initiated to cover increased spending. We can’t allow another undue burden on struggling taxpayers. County Clerks across the state spearheaded a campaign to eliminate this money grab. Thanks to their hard work, we may be able to remove this item from the budget altogether.”
