ATC privatization

[1600vw]

From what Annette told me, at one time the state of Illinois gave out stickers when you paid this fee. This sticker had to be put on the windshield of your airplane. Now she said they do not do this, you just pay this fee. I am sure others on this forum who live in Illinois can give more detail about this user tax. From my understanding or from what Annette said, this tax is only charged to those who live in the state of Illinois. I flew into a small fly-in and purchased one gallon of fuel. I had to enter an N number to purchase this fuel. These records are then given to the state. The State then goes over every transaction and make sure all taxes have been paid by all N numbers entered. Annette explained this to me on how she came to have my info in her hand. She said I did not pay my 20 dollar use tax for this airplane. I believe I kept these e-mails. I will post some of these e-mails if I did indeed safe them.

I should mention that this happened about one year ago.
