Yeah, but don't you feel safer and better governed with the additional $100 contribution?
I just renewed by boat trailer. $120 with credit card fee. My snowmobile trailer will be up next. It's hard to describe the feeling of "being taken advantage of" that I'm feeling. It's like we have no voice. We just have to sit here and take it. There should be enough recreational enthusiasts to make a big deal out of this, or some kind of outdoor group that is incensed over this like I am. Don't forget about how we get ripped off in tolls. Does anybody know of anyone fighting this crap?
Illinois is getting out of hand. I renew all the plates at one time. Last year it was $452 this year it would have been $902 for the same. We have a pick up a car a older car that will get antique plates next year a motorcycle and three pre 2000 trailers one 5000lb and two of them 300lb or less.
Looks like I will be selling and can't wait to retire in a few years and get out of this tax riddled state!!

That is a option. But knowing how they handle it in our local area and if it's personal and over 30 days out you will get a ticket the fine is a $252 minimum and with the plate's going up I understand they will be watching closer.
FYI get stopped without a License or get arrested for a DUI, drugs ect they tow and it starts out at $700 to get it out the first day.
By the way this is not in the North East corner of the state!

Don't come to Michigan , they are even worse and insurance is outrageous.
So I did some research. There is a Bill on the table to reduce the small trailer plate fees back to $18. The price increase was really meant for larger trailers and the small trailers just got grouped in without much time or thought to fight it. The Bill to decrease the price has a lot of Representatives sponsoring it, so there's hope. I already emailed the four State Reps in my area, and one has already responded. He is actually a Sponsor already.

im swaping plates i have 5 trailers
Illinois doesn't tax retirement income/benefits.
Correct but they do on everything other thing. My home appraised at $165000. In 2013 is the same home as it was in 2005 no changes taxes were $2500 now $6500 among other taxes. Wage increases have been below cost of living. Overhead for companys gone up wages held steady. Maybe not in the North East side of the state.
Yeah but state taxes on retirement income probably aren't going to kill anyone. Probably easily offset by property tax savings.
Not to mention the graduated income tax that is being kicked around. As for the trailer fee, one of mine the IL plate is coming off and the other it will have to be renewed for now as it is being used to move stuff up north. So if they pull back the plate fee will those that pay get a refund or will it be for next year???
