Why are we increasing fees if "the Department" can't even figure out how much money those increased fees will generate? I don't want to start a political fight, but I have a real issue with increasing fees, then figuring out how much money Concord can disburse.
Figure out the spending requirements, THEN set the fees. |
I totally agree with you. If they have been running in defecit situations, there should have been proportional increases each year rather than just DOUBLE the fees. Too many government agencies in many states run that sloppy approach to setting fees.
