Hot New License Plate Design or Hot Pile of #@&!?

This article was scraped from Rochester Subway. This is a blog about Rochester history and urbanism has not been published since 2017. The current owners are now publishing link spam which made me want to preserve this history.. The original article was published November 16, 2009 and can be found here.

The newly proposed NY license plate design. Gold with a blue swoosh? Are you kidding me with this?

If you're a New York motorist you've probably heard about Albany's latest attempt to use your wallet to fix their budget gap. Beginning in May 2010 you     may    be required to buy a     new set of plates    for your ride (starting at $25). I say "may" because this is not a done-deal and lawmakers just might buckle under the pressure from protesters and decide against the whole idea. But if Patterson has his way, your car may soon be adorned with lovely new blue and gold plates... GAG!

Perhaps being a graphic designer disqualifies me from passing judgement, but based solely on the proposed design, I say this is a bad idea. But let's take an informal poll...
