Whether we like them or not, (my wife says the new ones are ugly) state officials have admitted that the only reason they're doing this is for the money; to help plug the horrendous hole in the budjet. The plates we have are aluminum, and if you don't get in an accident, or otherwise abuse them, they last, and last. T just sent in my registration renewal, and it's up to $164.00 now. With the new plate, it's $189.00. If I wanted to keep the same number, it'd be $209.00. If I wanted a vanity plate, (ie: my initials or "Bananas", etc) it would be $269.00.

Tonight's paper says, that because of the opposition, the governor may consider backing down on this.
