SYNOPSIS Enforcement and Supplies Pay $ Lebanon made $ Maine earned $ Potential Income Tax $ newly insured vehicles $40.00 per new license fees
NEXT YEAR PROJECTION 172 vehicles register without enforcement. Excise taxes drop slightly year to year until the vehicle is a certain age. No enforcement on these 172, so the Profit next year is all the Town of Lebanon’s. Est. $15, New residents with NH plates continue to move in. Loose some who already have registered due to income tax.
Lebanon Budgeted $14, Enforcement brought in $16, Most of this would not have come in without enforcement. Constable Budget was $ ( as of ) $30, SUBTRACT $ = $ WHAT DID IT REALLY COST
FINAL RESULT LEBANON HAS MANY NEW MAINE PLATES AT NO COST TO LEBANON SINCE MANY OF THESE VEHICLES WOULD NOT HAVE REGISTERED. MANY MORE LEFT TO ENFORCE, MANY OUT OF STATE VEHICLES STILL EXIST IN LEBANON AFTER SUMMER SEASON, ENFORCEMENT SHOULD RESUME.
