TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Fees would increase by $4 to register a vehicle in the state under a compromise bill sent to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
The increase would start in January 2009 and last four years, raising the cost to about $40 to register a personal vehicle.
The Senate approved the negotiated bill 24-10 Wednesday, followed a few minutes later by a 72-50 House vote.
The money from the increase would go to the Vehicle Modernization Fund to upgrade the state's system for registering vehicles and driver's licenses. Secretary of Revenue Joan Wagnon says the current system is about 20 years old and needs to be replaced to provide law enforcement with more information more quickly.

And would last four years? By that time they will have forgotten about taking the tax off and we will all keep paying. Once a tax is put into effect it never leaves. And they talk about big business being greedy, the state is just as bad.
Someone has to pay for the national ID program, why not pay for it ourselves? Hmmm...
