CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - You might want to double-check the status of your vehicle's Illinois license plates. They are expiring on hundreds of thousands of vehicles Tuesday starting at midnight.
But many Illinois drivers have not gotten the usual warning mailed by the State. As Political Editor Mike Flannery explains, it's one more consequence of Springfield's failure to approve a budget.
Currency exchanges were jammed Monday night with many patrons paying a $9.50 surcharge to renew their license plates at the last minute. Many complained that they didn't get the usual warning in the mail.
"Well, I didn't get nothing. So I looked at it yesterday. And I noticed it was expired," Al Cone told FOX 32 News.
The wife of disabled retiree Wayne Leonhardt also noticed by chance the other day that their plates were about to expire.
He put a newly-purchased sticker on, without which they'd be subject to a ticket and $60 fine.
"We're safe for another year. And all we've gotta do now is put something in the calendar so we follow up every year," Leonhardt said Monday.
But some people say they are used to getting the reminder letter.
The Leonhardts are in the first group of Illinois vehicle owners in decades NOT to be reminded by mail that their plates were about to expire.
Whats the big deal? look at your plate and sticker, a month before it expires go buy a new one, screw the Jews at the banks and currency exchanges, go to the sec. of state office and get a sticker!! Do you need the government doing everything for you?? The state is saving a half a million bucks by not sending the notice, You know how many democrat votes you can get for that kind of dough??

Murph, it is getting to the point that it just aint worth it to live in this City and State no mo'. Especially this driving thing. Speed enforced. Photo enforced. DUI for a beer. It feels oppressive.
ReplyDeleteBottom line is that there is nothing in the Illinois Vehicle Code mandating Sec of State to send out the sticker renewal reminders. People need to adjust and be held accountable for knowing and remembering their renewal month. Does the public library send out a reminder that your books will be due on a certain date? People got used to the notices and now that the budget doesn't allow for the service of mailing the reminders, people need to adjust.
