Gross Mis-management.
California is the 4th or 5th largest economy in the world (bigger than most nations) - and it's economy has gone down the toilet. Fees are increasing not only for DMV/Registration but also for the UC and CSU systems. For those of us with young kids or going to have kids - how will we ever send them through college?
Yeah - maybe it is time to move to another state.

Hey all! Try this link and follow the instructions. My sister sent this to me.
Check out this page (above) to get a form to send in with car registrations
after Oct. 2003 to get in line for a refund of this illegal tax.
to sign up to receive petitions for an initiative to lower the car tax to a
flat fee of $1 or to abolish it all together. They're being prepared right
now.

Hope this helps!

I'm not a Gray Davis defender in any way, but this is a law that passed during Pete Wilsons administration. During times of budget crisis, the vehicle license fee discount will be abolished.
Only the vehicle license fee (VLF) will go up, which is a small portion of your actual registration costs. It will go to back to 1999 rates which have decreased by 2/3 since then.
The rest is a tax based upon the value of the vehicle and goes down each year. It is not true that a three fold increase would mean your registration would raise from, say, $2000 per year to $6000 per year. The "value portion" of the tax would continue to decrease and the "registration" part would increase.
The main hit will be on older vehicles where the value is next to nothing and the registration portion is high in comparison.
It's estimated to raise the average cars registration by $124 which sucks but no where near the doom and gloom you guys are predicting.

Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

To make sure they were not hurt while fulfilling the mission.
Mitsubishi air craft used to have a 17CM area around the head - A helmet was ordered as a part of uniform with padding, that an evasive toggle of the stick would not render the pilot disabled.
Cheers Amy -
Not only Zero - but Betty also.
Kami - Divine - Meditate on on only ones mission, so des.
Kaze - Wind - The wind against the enemy.
At the end of the war only 1200 Aircraft were available to protect the main island. By records 954 Pilots trained, 213 in Training were available. What would you do?
