As far as the request to let counties add $25 to the annual vehicle registration fee to pay to remove abandoned vehicles, Sen. Lorraine Inouye, a north Hawaii Island Democrat who chairs the Senate Transportation Committee, said the counties already have that authority.
We already pay a "vehicle disposal fee" on our annual registration -- however, County has decreed that this only applies on public roads, while most derelict vehicles are disposed of on private roads. Increasing this fee will NOT solve the problem.
