The Dealer Fee - A "License to Steal"

There is a movement underway in Florida to outlaw the Dealer Fee.   Earl Stewart is the leader in this charge.   We are gaining momentum every day.   After a State Senate investigation was concluded, legislation is in the works that would cap or outlaw these "licenses to steal".   The fight ahead will be tough - the car dealer lobby, spearheaded by the Florida Automobile Dealers Association (FADA) is fighting this tooth-and-nail every step of the way.
