The great plate debate

[Do you believe it]

How about making those bicycle riders who think they belong in the turning lanes at signal lights, pay registration fees.

How about making it necessary to have to register every bullet you own, let’s say for a dollar a bullet. They could scribe a registration number on the bullet.

Besides, if you can be charged for exercising a right you've lost that right.

I know the answer...... STOP paying for all the deadbeats living off the welfare system. There are jobs out there you just need to be willing to do them!

I see your point of view, but the way this state is being run, the welfare system may be the only source of income for everyone. No jobs...what else is there?

Yikes, I think its so ugly that I would pay twice that just to keep it off my car.

Its a dumb idea. I do like the look, but its a dumb idea. I aggree 100%. Here's a quick thought; Offer it as a custom "retro" option like personalized license plates. This would appeal to folks into car restoration, or just for folks looking for a retro look.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LICENSE PLATES

http://www.stmarksonline.us/EMPIREGOLD.HTM

1. For the Last Few Weeks Western Upstate Republicans have been protesting the new plate.
Saying "This will burden upstate residents because the people up here have four cars per household and people in the New York Metro Area can take The Long Island Railroad, Metro North, New York City Subway"
This is not true - Most families on Long Island have between three or five cars as well and we pay 50 dollar surcharge on our Registration for the MTA, 20 dollar surcharge on our license for the MTA and 37 dollars NYSI compared to 21 upstate and we pay more in property taxes. The Governor of New York State said if the Legislator can find new ways to close the budget then he will remove the plate idea, but what really is going to happen is listed below in number 2.

2. Yes, you will have pay for the license plates 25 dollars a set, and what the Western upstate republicans want to do is scrap the new plate idea and keep the current plates. SOUNDS good right, Wrong, What the western upstate republicans want to do is FIRE New York City police officers, CLOSE New York City Firehouses CUT School aid, in turn would mean higher property taxes. WHAT ARE THEY NOT TELLING YOU......
THAT NEW YORK STATE LAW REQUIRES NEW LICENSE PLATES EVERY TEN YEARS, WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT IN 2011 YOU WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BUY NEW PLATES. THE GOVERNOR SAID WE MOVED THE PLATES UP A YEAR SO WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO CUT PROGRAMS. SO YOU WILL BE GETTING NEW PLATES EITHER WAY IN 2010 OR 2011.

3. Why are the western upstate republicans doing this, So they can win your vote in 2010 and then make you buy a plate in 2011.

4. The Answer is simple Keep the plate program, we do not want programs cut and then still have to get a new plate in 2011. We do not want our property taxes to go up anymore on Long Island.

5. Call your State Senator, Assembly Person and tell them you support the plate program becase of these reasons and you are not blind to what is going on. Call Before they cancel the program. New Plates also keep people off the road who do not have insurance.

What should be done is if you are getting replacement plates for current Empire Blue plates you should charge the old rate of 15.00 dollars. For New Registration transactions at DMV offices for Plates Charge 30.00 dollars after April 1, 2010 when issued the new Empire State Gold Plate.

Pay for your own police, like everyone else.
Don't like your taxes? Move.
One more year before a plate change would help people who are unemployed now.
Other people are not here to pay for your way of life, grow up.
