Surprise!  In California motorcycle registrations are now $2/year more
expensive, with the funds from the extra cash going to motorcycle education
programs.  Specifically we expect to see MSF courses benefitting from
an infusion of cash, and my organization has established communications
with the administrators of the new fund.

But I don't like it.  If we can get more students by having a cheaper
tuition, then it'll be nice, but I seriously doubt that will happen.
Our course is only $65 now.  Otherwise I don't expect the fund to do 
much real good.  And the thought of using forcefully taken money really 
turns my stomach.  But I'm only one voice . . .
