Deferred registrations bill seeks April 1 motor vehicle date
Representative Norman Whitney of Bangor proposes deferring motor vehicle registration to April 1, shifting the expiration from March 1. Bills in about a dozen states, including New York and Vermont, favor later dates to boost holiday and gas tax revenue while easing dealer traffic. Vermont daylight saving changes spark regional time-line tensions. Maine towns prepare for meetings and publicity spending. Weather quirks and scurvy rumors in Aroostook are noted, with road-safety sanding critiqued and winter driving emphasized.
