Two weeks ago I registered all my vehicles for the next two years. On September 1, the state of Florida raised the price of vehicle registration by 100%. So I was able to register everything for two years for the same price that today would have cost me for just one year.
I look at the fee increase as just another form of taxation, but without the politicians having to fear any backlash from the increase.

Yes, the taxes/fees were increased, but not by anywhere near 100%.. for example, registration renewal on a motorcycle went from $10.00 to $13.50. Also, many of these fees have not changed for years, some haven't been increased since the 1960's, and all money generated is to be used for infrastructure improvement (road maintenance, new roads/bridges, etc..).
For a list of the changes, see: http://www.flhsmv.gov/MotoristFees.htm
