RI DMV registration fee increased!

Yesterday, I renewed my registration for one car. To my surprise, the fee jumped from $46 to $60. The increase will not break my bank but it certainly says something. I carefully read the new fee update page in my DMV website, I notice the fee was actually adjusted from July 2007.

I remember there was budget debate in the state but I know the state will find ways to raise money. So that is what they did.

I know many states got budge problem so the effect will show up soon everybody's tax/fee bill.

I wonder what else the government will come up to balance the budget deficit.
