Reply to comment by EngineersAnon in Maine begins its removal of obscene vanity license plates by NCSUGrad2012

You do know up until the lepage administration did away with restrictions that the state was doing just fine with non obscene plates right? For like decades…

It happened DURING the LePage admin, not BY it. Dunlap, a Democrat elected by the Maine legislature, was the Secretary of State who made the choice to stop censoring license plates base on the fact that it would cost the state a lot of money just to lose court cases. He decided not to die on that hill.

This is the question. What’s changed?

Covid is old news and an election is coming up.

You do realize that this is coming down under the Mills administration with a democrat majority in the legislature. Perhaps not the best time to go pointing your political finger?
