What makes the difference if the tax is elective or non-elective?? It still goes to the same agencies that promote "you can't live without government" that infects this country and perpetuates the theft off your money.
My wife use to work for the BMV in Indiana. There is no additional cost (outside of a few cents) that goes into that specialty plate that needs recouped. It is just a donnation to the state. If he wants to give money for conservation, then do it to the NWTF or Pheasants 4ever or Ducks Unlimited, not to the State.
Plus the extra fee you pay for that DNR plate does nothing for roads. It goes into DNR funding for "conservation projects" like making sure COs stay employed not actual habitat projects and such.
