Who Should Pay Higher Fees?

In today’s Orlando Sentinel there is an article on higher fees for the state of Florida. I completely understand that fees need to be raised. It’s normal. Things happen.

But when you compare one thing that’s being raised & how much it’s being raised vs. another. It just doesn’t much sense. Law bidding citizens get hit harder than others.

Like this for example:
Renewing your driver’s license goes from $20 to $48, that’s a $28 difference vs. DUI admin fee that goes up from $115 to $130, only a $15 difference.

I know that between the two it’s not that big of an increase amount, but I just think it’s crap that someone that breaks the law gets an increase of less than something that every Florida driver HAS to do every so many years. You HAVE to renew your license. There is no way around it (okay there is, but then you’re just being bad!)

Am I crazy to think that the amounts just don’t seem to add up? Why? Can anyone tell me? I’d really like to know.
