License plates

I read in the Burlington Free Press that Vermont residents have a new commemorative license plate design for the Quad.

The news story says that the official Quadricentennial commemorative plates, “Vermont Celebrates Champlain,” are being sold online through Vermont Life magazine (which is published by the state) and at various retail outlets for $25. The special plate, approved by the Legislature last spring, may be placed over front plates of Vermont cars now through June 30, 2010. A limited edition of numbered license plates are expected to be available by early fall.

The New York Quad Commission's Web site says a similar commemorative plate will be introduced for New York in 2009. We'll have to keep an eye out for it.
