Florida DMV Offices Flooded to Beat Tuesday’s Fee Hikes

August 31, 2009

Florida lawmakers voted to raise the fees last spring to help close the budget gap, according to the Miami Herald. The legislature voted to raise state fees for nearly every government service, including fishing permits, filing court briefs, visiting parks and, of course, driving a motor vehicle.

Lawmakers say that the increased fees are necessary to avoid cutting more government jobs, reports the paper. Also, legislators point out that many of the fees have not been raised in 20 years.

So, Monday, drivers from across the state were in a mad rush to the DMV offices to save a few bucks. Initial driver licenses are increasing from $27 to $48, while six-year renewals will cost $48, more than double the current $20 fee. Motorists who renew before Tuesday avoided the increase at least until their next renewal.

I recently had a wall mounted beer bottle opener put in my kitchen. While I am not ready to give up my old bottle opener. In any case, its very nice having it as a backup in case I lose my keychain opener.
