Yep, I had just moved to Arkansas in Sept. of 1980. I registered to vote and happily voted AGAINST Bill Clinton. The car license fee increase was indeed the hot election issue that year.

Something like a license fee can't be passed on or evaded. For a young couple making a little over minimum wage, that runs out of money before the next paycheck that gets a $300.00 license fee each are just screwed. When a legislature loses sight of that just shows how out of touch they get from the voters. They have to have a car to work. You could tell that Davis didn't have a clue as to how bad he had messed up.
