Sarasota County tags are going up

I realize when the economy is bad, government looks where it can for money. I have a hard time with them raising the cost of a county tag for your pet. Not that I think they should not all be licensed, but there are so many out there which are not. Think of all the money which could be raised if all the unlicensed pet owners were found and fined. Oh, Yeah, that would require hiring more people, which would cost more money, so why not just raise the cost to the responsible pet owners and let them shoulder the burden. It just doesn't seem quite right to me.
