Maine passes $5 hike in snowmobile registration fees |
|
Maine's Gov. John Baldacci has recently signed a bill that will
increase snowmobile registration fees by $5, according to the
Seacoastonline.com. The registration fee will increase from $35 to $40,
and the money will go to the Snowmobile Trail Fund. However, the new
law will not affect nonresidents' fees.
As previously reported on
AmSnow.com, the bill received initial endorsements from the Maine House
when it was introduced by Rep. Herbert Clark.
Moosehead Riders President Tom McCormick, a local Maine snowmobile
club, said he supported the bill because of the additional funding that
would be given to the individual clubs.
According to McCormick, clubs
were having a hard time raising funds for their clubs, and this money
would help fill that gap.
