Now, that said, what has that got to do with a FREE sticker to identify the owner of an unregistered boat that, if adrift, would spark a search for a missing person?  |
While I agree that it would create more of an inconvience, you would have a reason to travel to that town anyway. Most town halls are open on Saturdays, so a quick stop in the morning the first weekend up doesn't sound all that difficult. Kind of like taking a dump run.
The folks that do not own property in the state would have to make the time to take one of your days off to come up and register at a DMV. I think Mass has what like 30 holidays a year, pick one, obviously less but you get my point.
In my book, if you own a home in the state you are moving away from being a tourist.
