Trailer-fee surprise

Posted March 07, 2020 12:00 am

As I sit here writing this letter, I find it amazing how many people have no clue of what's to come in your mail for renewing your trailer license fee. The fee is going from $18 to $100, A 500%-plus increase. I hit the deck when I found out.

All I have is a rowboat and 15 hp engine on a trailer, and I'm going to be fleeced by our governor by 500% just to go fishing. It doesn't matter what size trailer you have, it's $100. That's an awful expensive cost of going fishing.

If you haven't heard about this fleecing, I suggest you call your state senator and representative. and the governor's office and put them to task.

Pass on what's in this article to your friends if they have trailers. All it takes is a few minutes of your time to call the governor's office, your state rep. and state senator. You're in for a big surprise compliments of the state of Illinois in your mail.
