Re: Government considers IN registration series to ease interstate vehicle transfers
I think when a person decides to buy a vehicle, he will not have clarity on where he would be based after, say 5 years. People decide to purchase a big vehicle (car) only after they settle in a job and get married, to stay in a state for long term.
In some cases, calculation goes wrong and people get transfers or decide to move out of the state.
So, speculating all these scenarios when purchasing vehicle would be difficult.
And, it turns out to be loss if one has to pay tax every 2 years as compared to one time LTT for a given vehicle.
ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN WILLIAMSON Can Rochester s new Food Policy Council drain the city s food swamp ? On the anniversary of Daniel Prude’s fatal encounter with Rochester police, scores of demonstrators marched east from downtown to take over the parking lot at the East Avenue Wegmans, eventually prompting the store to close for the day. “Wegmans exemplifies what’s wrong in our community,” Justin Morris, president of the Rochester Chapter of the Arc of Justice, a grassroots group for social change, said at the protest. Around him, demonstrators wrote Black Lives Matter slogans in chalk on the asphalt as Wegmans workers locked themselves and shoppers behind the store’s glass doors.
PHOTO BY JACOB WALSH Formerly an instrumental band, FRAN has turned a corner with singer Jon Lewis (center) as frontman. The last time I saw Rochester singer-songwriter Jon Lewis perform, pre-pandemic, he was behind a mic stand with guitar in hand, fronting the band that bore his name with a smile that was both confident and sheepish. Fast forward to a chilly late-April evening at Flour City Station on East Avenue, and the affable musician is still smiling. This time, however, there’s a microphone cord slung over his shoulders where the guitar strap once was, as he sings in front of an entirely different group of musicians with a similarly no-frills moniker, FRAN.

Only in a nation with as perverse an elite and leadership cabal as the United States of America would the death of George Floyd be cause for remaking our society and the horrific murder of a white cop by a black criminal barely be mentioned in local papers/local newscasts.
But that’s where we find ourselves in 2021, with the haunting specter of whites supremacy, white privilege, systemic racism, implicit bias, redlining, food deserts, and the historical legacy of slavery the ultimate curse upon which all black people are held back from achieving the so-called “American Dream.”
In reality, the nightmarish world America is increasingly becoming was on full display in the last moments of Delmar Police Cpl. Keith Heacook’s life. He was a white police officer, husband, and father to a 12-year-old son.

Customers of John’s Tex-Mex in the South Wedge typically get their tacos and burritos with a side of refried beans or mashed potatoes. On a recent Saturday, they got a side of indie lit, too. Nestled in a back corner of the restaurant, past clusters of patrons gorging on guacamole, was a pop-up bookstore fashioned out of a small table displaying a couple dozen books novels, essays, and poetry, mostly from small presses and international authors. The exhibit was the work of Akimbo Books, a local online bookseller that specializes in contemporary literature and has developed a workaround to paying for a brick-and-mortar store by staging pop-up shops. In the process, it seeks to reintroduce what is a rarity in Rochester’s literary landscape nowadays: new titles.
