The only time you hear much about it from politicians is when the Ds are in charge; the Rs will then get very upset about the national debt.

But once the Rs are back in charge, they start spending like crazy with no mention of debt concern.

The Ds never express much concern about it.

Yes, he can!

Inspection stickers have been killed. The next to go should be the tiny license plate stickers that we get with registration.

They cost the State to buy and mail, and a study shows they have zero impact on whether people keep their registration current. This would save the state money, save citizens PITA, and have no downside (unless your brother in law runs the sticker company).

From Washington Post:

“After more than a century of managing these arcane and outdated rules, a growing number of states are going electronic and sticker-free. New Jersey was the first to ditch its vehicle decals in 2004. One cited reason was sticker theft. Connecticut followed in 2010 because technology made registration stickers unnecessary, saving the state hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Pennsylvania stopped in 2017.

A Pennsylvania State study found the change had zero effect on how many drivers stayed current on their registration, and it saved the state $1.1 million a year on tag production and another $2 million on mailing them out.
This year, Idaho joined the no-registration-sticker club, saving the state about $300,000 annually. North Carolina is moving to an electronic system starting Oct. 1, eliminating printing and mailing costs that total $4.8 million annually.”

Excerpt From
“Opinion | This tiny sticker on your car is a big waste of time and money”

There was a case in north LA where a lady was jogging down the street and a cop dog that was out of its kennel attacked her and chewed her up pretty good. She sued. The city settled.

AI overview: "Most credit repair businesses provide services you can easily do yourself for free, and while some legitimate companies follow federal laws to dispute actual errors, the industry is heavily plagued by scams."

Late summer/fall can be a sweet spot for rare good markdowns on Weber grills.

I got my Genesis in a similar situation. Grill was already marked down a little, then they announced $100 off all grills in the store that day, then I mentioned to the manager that it was the last of that model with big changes coming in the spring, so he asked if I would take it for another 20% off. Sold.

Had a Weber Spirit for years before that. The Genesis is waaaay better.

Look into replacing the grills with Grill Grates. They sear a steak like nothing else. One of my best purchases. Grillgrate.com

I know instate transaction do not need to be notarized.

A Louisiana title has provisions on the back for transfer that are to be signed by the seller and notarized.

You may have slipped one through without it, but the rules require a notary.

OMV says LINK:

All used vehicles must be titled with OMV. To title a used vehicle, the following items must be mailed or delivered to the OMV Headquarters or may be processed in an OMV office or at a Public Tag Agent location:

A completed vehicle application form (DPSMV 1799)
"Current" certificate of title assigned before a notary by seller to purchaser, with the properly released lien, if applicable. If the bill of sale, invoice, or title is notarized, the file will be acceptable
If the vehicle is not exempt from odometer requirements and the back of the title does not contain an Odometer Disclosure Statement, a supplemental Odometer Statement must be submitted.

An authorized agent of a federally insured financial institution may witness assignment instead of a notary when:
The seller is present.
A lien is being recorded at the time ownership is transferred.
A designation of authorized officers on letterhead of the federally insured financial institution (or otherwise identifying the financial institution) is provided as either an original document or a photocopy.
NOTE: Act of Donation must be notarized.

Original notarized bill of sale or invoice specifying the actual consideration involved and full description of vehicle. If an invoice from a dealer is submitted, the full description of the trade-in vehicle (if any), and the dealer's current permit number must be indicated.
A separate bill of sale is not required if the selling price is included on the title assignment.

[Per AI, Texas does not require a standard standard vehicle title transfer to be notarized, except for things like a donation, succession related, and some other exceptions.]

If the vehicle sale occurs in a state with a notarial requirement, the itemized invoice submitted must be the original and notarized. If the original is lost, a certified true copy can be accepted.
A carbon copy of a bill of sale can be accepted if being submitted from a state that does not require notarization.
Original or copy of properly completed UCC-1 form (financing statement) or other security agreement, if a lien is to be recorded.

If you wish to obtain a license plate, in addition to the items above, the following must be included:

A copy of each vehicle owner’s current and valid photo identification (driver’s license or identification card issued by this state or another state).
Proof of liability insurance coverage (unless the vehicle transfer is being submitted by a licensed vehicle dealer).

Glad y’all had a good time.

I had only mild interest in IndyCar until I went to a race. After seeing it in person, I was all in.
