Sweet. Just like the Sabres they are going back to their old colors.

Those are such ugly plates! And why should we have to shell out another $25 for each plate when we just bought new ones a few years ago? :ill:

Because Democrats control the Assembly, Senate and Governorship!!! :D

Ugh... please don't try to sugar-coat Gov. Paterson's bull**** money grab. He'd rather do some gimmick bull**** like this than actually steer the state towards financial sustainability.

The whole state government blows with the exception of a few representatives like Michael Ranzenhofer (http://www.nysenate.gov/district/61)

I am very calm . . . . :blowup:

[trapezeus]

the plates are very sabres like. a return to old colors and a bizzare little arch in the design.

regardless of your politics, leave it to morons that run NYS to raise money by doing something that hardly affects NYC residents. I don't have a car, most of my friends don't have a car in the city. So they left a huge chunk of 8mm people out of the picture. Nicely done.

That's why they also added the water bottle deposit...to hit you New Yorkers who don't drink water from the faucet. :up:

[trapezeus]

i rarely use bottled water. i drink off the fridge door waater, use the filtered water at work, and drink tap at restaurants.

i guess the truth is there are a lot of states who've been given federal money to make ends meet. now the fed shut the door on that because thye have other concerns.

poor america, now we have to actually pay for the things we want. and most people have no idea how much we've spent.

Looks like they scrapped it, thank god. I still liked those plates from the 90's the best (before the current ones)


State backs off on plan for new license plates

ALBANY — Forget forking over $25 for those hip, retro-colored new license plates next spring.

State leaders threw in the towel tonight on a provision they all agreed to last April requiring all drivers to get new license plates as part of a revenue-raising plan for the deficit-riddled state budget.

After a week of signaling a possible retreat, Gov. David Paterson said he's happy to back away from the new plates. Some Senate Democrats — following protest howls last April by Senate Republicans — had recently begun complaining, too, about the initiative that they, too, voted for last April.
