Answer by bostonianinmo
I don't have my bill handy, but paid $ 258 last year for a 1996 Mercedes C-220 and a 2006 Ford Fusion. If I find my bill, I'll post the exact numbers for you. The tax is based upon the vehicles you own in MO as of January 1st and is due on December 31st. Therefore if you moved to MO on January 2nd or later this year, you will NOT pay the tax this year. Edit: OK, pulled out the bill. The combined valuation for tax purposes on the 2 vehicles is $ 6,390 -- $ 1,590 for the Benz and $ 4,800 for the Ford. Keep in mind that the rates vary by county. There are a number of taxing authorities in MO, including the local school district, City tax district, County tax district, Mental Health district, Fire district, City and/or County Road district, State Highway fund, State General fund and possibly local community college districts, etc. I live in Jasper County but a mile south in Newton County, bills are about 10% higher due to higher school taxes and a community college district that doesn't levy in Jasper County.

After 20 years, you analyze a lot... You know, remember people, heroism... Many people come up to me and say, that, had they been there They surely would have died. But no, it makes no sense... Because until you're in a situation like that You have no idea how you'll behave Fronted by solitude without decadence or a... Single material thing to prostitute and elevate you to a spiritual plane Where I felt the presence of God Now, there's the God they taught me about at school And there is the God that's hidden... by what surrounds us in this civilization That's the God I meant My mind is in a state 'cause all I seem to do is tempt my fate Well I try every space But all the while I'm crushing at the gate This time, this time My mind is in a state 'cause everything I miss it comes too late So I try and disappear But there is only one way out of here This time... This time... My mind is in a state But all I need to do is change my pace And I kn ow there's fear to face But happiness is firm in its embrace This time... This time...

BEIRUT--Turkey fired retaliatory shells into neighboring Syria on Saturday for a fourth consecutive day after a Syrian mortar projectile again struck Turkish territory, news agencies reported.

The latest exchange comes a day after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave a fiery address warning that it would be a “fatal mistake” to test Turkey’s resolve in the matter.

“We are not interested in war, but we are not far from it either,” Erdogan said.

World leaders fear a broader regional war arising from the conflict raging inside Syria, where rebels are fighting to oust President Bashar Assad. Turkey has called on Assad to step down and has provided a haven for Syrian rebels and political dissidents.

On Saturday, the Turkish press reported, a mortar shell from Syria landed in a field near the Turkish border village of Guvecci, in Hatay province. No one was hurt,  but the incident prompted Turkish batteries to fire volleys  into Syria. There was no immediate word on possible casualties on the Syrian side.

The latest exchange comes as tensions have escalated between the two nations following an incident on Wednesday in which shells from Syria killed five people in the Turkish border town of Akcakale, Turkish authorities said. The killings  sparked outrage in Turkey and prompted the first in a series of Turkish retaliatory artillery strikes inside Syrian territory.

The reported Syrian shelling of Turkish territory drew condemnation from the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, of which Turkey is a member.

Syrian officials have assured Russia, Damascus’ ally,  that the deadly strike in Akcakale was a “tragic mistake” and would not be repeated, the Russian press reported. Syria has offered “condolences” to the “Turkish people” but has not apologized for the cross-border strikes or admitted Syrian responsibility.

Turkey and Syria share a more-than-500-mile border, parts of which have become caught up in the Syrian conflict. Rebels have seized several Syrian government border posts, while arms and fighters move back and forth across the frontier. There have been reports that Syria has agreed to keep its forces some six miles from the border, but Syrian authorities have not confirmed any such move.
