twitterLetter to the editor:
Want our business? Pay your fair share
Wednesday, July 22, 2009 | 2:04 a.m.
I read a letter to the editor in Monday’s Las Vegas Sun by Susan Hooper regarding cars not being registered in Nevada.
I have to say that I, too, am getting sick and tired of people coming here and not paying their fair share.
My point: I saw a truck on Friday that has the name and phone number for a local company (licensed and bonded) with a California license plate! Go figure.

What about these high end cars with no plates??
Not even a dealer plate. They are on a test drive?
Its time to also buy America ( Obama Motors ) so us autoworkers still with a job can out and visit your great city and leave some of our money out there and help your economy also. Remember, it works both ways - you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
Why pay the fees. With so many visitors to this state you can skate for years. I do doubt the California plates are cheaper than Nevada's.
If you want people to pay a tax keep the tax reasonable. Having a clear and proper purpose for what the tax is used for also helps.
"Pay your fair share" is starting to sound like "pay the tribute or we break your legs, capiche?"
When I moved from Ca. in 05, this is my experience. In Sept 04 I had purchased and registered a new car in Ca.. That registration cost me $243. I registered that same car in Nv 6 months later and my fee was $448. Not only that I paid my insurance premium before moving here and had to pay another $80 for the very same policy in Las Vegas. So it cost just $38 less than twice as much to register in Nv. as compared with Ca.. Insurance premium was approx. 16-17% more here in Nv..
