Why don't the lawmakers get some BALLS and pass a bill that if someone is caught driving any vehicle with expired tags or no registration (temp or regular plates) that the vehicle will automatically be towed, That driver gets a fine of at least $2500.00 and be taken to jail for at least 3 days.
Something also needs to be done about the existing expired temp tags and expired license plates that are running rampant in Jefferson City. Why aren't the JCPD ticketing these vehicles, following up with towing/impounding the vehicles after the ticket is written. Springfield has started doing this.
It must have taken KMIZ some time to find the one car dealer to say the sales tax, that you have to pay regardless, will affect someone's 'purchasing power'.
The car's price affects your purchasing power, not the tax.
The fact there is not already one or any attempt at common sense enforcement speaks volumes in it's own right. Maybe we need another department and a 10 year study.......
We used to have government funded mental institutions that would have handled this, but Reagan handed this off to the states who didn't have the money to continue funding.
If the City passes this, the homeless will not go away. They will move into the surrounding neighborhoods. Your children will step over the homeless as they walk to school and you will hear screaming all night long..
