All too often the governor or the other politicans get their hands on the new money and spend it on other things. That's the only problem I can see.

When I first got my new boat back in 1978 I had it registered in KY instead of IN. It was not until I was up at Patoka Lake that I got a ticket for not having a valid IN boat registration. That was well into the late 1990's when that happened. So now I registered the boat and pay the excise tax each year like everyone else. My boat was just under 16 ft. long and I thought it was exempt somehow. But the boat stayed at home most of the year. I took it fishing for a week or two each year down at KY lake. Only after Patoka Lake was opened did I start fishing it. But I still fished KY lake several times a years. Usually in the spring and fall.

And just the fact that registration hasn't increased in fifteen years it makes sense at some point just to keep up with inflation there needs to be an increase.
