"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Cities Stick it to Residents Over Vehicle Stickers
Greg Alm, of Riverside, was stunned to open his mail recently and find he had been assessed $1,320 in fines for failing to buy village vehicle stickers this year — and in 2007, 2008 and 2009. As cash-strapped municipalities struggle to balance their budgets during the recession, many are testing new ways to nab vehicle sticker scofflaws and collect more fees and fines.

I had no idea that Illinois residents lived under such tax sucking rules at the level of town government! I am surprised that Illinois still has a population. Did they close down the highways and bridges leading out of the State of Ill Repute? A little more work by the politicians and Illinois will look like Michigan--depopulated.
