Missouri law will keep Jayhawks off license plates

[pstokely]

"
Don’t expect to see any Jayhawks on Missouri license plates — it’s the law — The Associated Press reports.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon signed an education bill on Thursday that includes new restrictions on specialty license plates. The Legislature now must approve any requests for military or collegiate specialty plates.
The measure was included after news reports that University of Kansas backers were working to get a specialty plate in Missouri. Rep. Stephen Webber, D-Columbia and sponsor of the provision, said he’d be willing to repeal the language if KU agrees to play the University of Missouri in basketball."

1. Why do we have any crap on license plates?

The state and the number is all that is needed. And don't get me started on the custom frames that cover most of the state name.

2. They cost more. More $$$ for the pushers of it.

Although I know here in PA, the extra cost for some types (e.g, wildlife foundation, etc) has that extra money being donated to those organizations.

4. Seems to me the charity would get more money if you got a plain license plate

and sent the extra money directly to the charity.

3. In the state I live in

I am allowed a specialty firefighter plate even though I retired in AZ and now live in NV. They're kinda cool.
