Rick Scott Pitches Vehicle Reduction Fee Proposal

Speaking at Lighthouse Point on Monday, Gov. Rick Scott made the case for his proposed $400 million reduction on motor vehicle fees.

We are going to undo the 54 percent tax increase Floridians saw in 2009 to annually register their motor vehicles, Scott said. Florida families deserve to keep more of the money they earn because it has never been governments money -- its your money. We are building an opportunity economy in Florida and our commitment to roll back these taxes and fees will let families keep more of the money they make so they can invest in their future.

Scotts team insists this reduction will move the fees from $71 per family to $46.
