Pathetic - I guess the state doesn’t need the revenue from vanity plates

IDK how many vanity plates they'd be issuing in a year but I'm guessing the state doesn't notice that money one way or the other.

Even if the full $2.4m is accurate that’s 6 hours of our $4.1b budget

It's even less significant than that. That 2.4 million is probably from the time that vanity plates became available until now. A ProJo article said there's about 25,000 currently registered vanity plates right now, but they're only getting the $75-80 or whatever it is one single time per plate. Some of the active ones have been around for years, or decades even.

If I had to guess, I'd imagine that there's way less than 1,000 new ones issued in a normal year.

I don’t think it’s just a one time fee though. I got one 4 years ago without reading the fine print and a few months later my registration renewal came due and it was something like $100 more just because I had vanity plates. Changed them back to the normal plates so I didn’t have to pay the increased renewal fee.

If you know a guy you can still get them. Connected people have them
