I just got this email today regarding the NEW New York Plates. We will soon get those ugly plate if we get a new car next year.

Once again, I thank your for taking the time to sign our online petition against the mandatory license plate re-issuance proposal. As an update, I wanted you to know that Governor Paterson called me personally this week to let me know that he heard all of our voices on this issue and that the plan was indeed dead.

I recently learned from the NYS DMV that since the new 'Empire Gold" plates were already in production, the DMV plans to start adding these plates to our existing inventory beginning in April. New car owners will have the option of choosing which plate they want until the old inventory is exhausted, probably at the end of the year. Regardless, the victory lies in the fact that New Yorkers will no longer be required to replace their existing plate with a new one, a clear money grab for the State. You can keep your existing plate.

I will keep you informed of any further updates. Again, I truly appreciate your support in this cause.
