It has already skyrocketed. Sweet feed has gone from $11 to $17+ dollars per 50 lb. bag in a year, and $3.50 per bale hay is now over $6 and climbing. I’m feeding three horses now, and I am happy that I don’t have the seven I had a few years ago.
I saw a sting operation on TV a few years ago where they were checking the placard registration and found the person the placard was registered to wasn't the person using the disabled spot. A number of the persons busted claimed, "I thought anybody in the household was allowed to use the handicap spot". The bad thing was that not only did the driver get a fine but the placard was confiscated and the disabled person had to reapply for another one.
