Just a clarification, snowmobile registration money is collected by the state but is placed in a "dedicated fund" for use to support snowmobiling in this state.
Our registration funds are not placed in the general fund, as in say Maine, where those funds were recently tapped by the state to help with fiscal shortfalls.
