typical government

MN absolutely does not have the authority to make you do this if you are from Wisconsin travelling thru MN to North Dakota - that is interfering in interstate comerce.  read that notice and there are not even any exceptions for a tractor trailer load of boats, or a commercial hauler moving a new sailboat thru the state.

same thing they have been trying for years to tax internet sales from companies not having a place of business within thier state (taxation without representation)

but you'd have to foot the legal bill to challenge that, and who is going to bother
