Though New York’s new “Empire Gold” license plates aren’t opening the same constitutional can of worms as South Carolina’s recently-rejected “I Believe” plates, they’re still generating some feisty political opposition. By next April, every licensed vehicle in the state will have to switch to the new plates, at $25 a pop. That’s ten bucks more per plate than the previous models, and keeping your previous number or vanity plate will cost an additional $20. The switch is estimated to raise $129m for the state, which is currently facing a $5b budget shortfall. But according to Newsday, some 57,000 New Yorkers have signed a petition at nonewplates.com, expressing their displeasure with the new plates and their fees. Best of all, the new plates will mean new jobs for 120 inmates in New York’s penal system. The inmates will be paid 42 cents per hour to produce the plates. (Quoted from all about cars .com)

"""""While the mandatory reissuance of license plates has been cancelled, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) began to issue new Empire Gold (blue and gold) vehicle plates in place of the current Empire (blue and white) plates on April 1, 2010. Even though Empire (blue and white) plates will still be valid, those plates will no longer be issued by the DMV when current stocks are gone."""""
Got this from the DMV. If I'm reading this correctly... we don't need to get new plates anymore...
