registration fee they already likely charge out of state trucks).


I think that is the plan. This guy has an attorney and I think AOPA
may be helping him too. However, in the interview I read he said its
only economical to take this so far. We'll see who gives up first.
In my opinion, knowing that Maine is a very liberal state, I think
that they are just ****ed off at anyone "rich" enough to afford an
airplane and believe they should give their money to the people (aka
the gov't), but that's just my political slant on this.
