Re-definition...

...always a powerful tool of government. The power to re-define is the power of creation and destruction. Eminent domain law is full of these types of appropriations and taxes.

When Mayor Rahm Emanuel trotted out his city vehicle sticker fee hike, he billed it as a modest $15 increase aimed at those who drive SUVs and trucks that cause the most damage to city streets.

What the mayor didn't highlight is a change he's pushing in how those large passenger vehicles are defined. Instead of setting the bar at 4,500 pounds, as it is now, Emanuel wants it set at 4,000 pounds
