MD: No Front License Plates [LAW]

A Maryland congressman is making a motion to eliminate the front license plate requirement. Let’s help him!!

The story is here: http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sec...StoryID=102089


Summary of FNP article: Delegate Donald Elliott, who represents portions of Frederick and Carroll counties, is the lead sponsor of the measure.

If passed, Maryland would join 21 states, including Pennsylvania and West Virginia, in requiring only a rear license plate.

The bill would phase in the use of one plate as people get new plates.

According to the Department of Legislative Services, the change would save the state $518,700 in the next fiscal year, and $719,700 by fiscal 2015.

But the chairwoman of the committee considering the bill said objections from police and state toll workers may be too great to overcome.

We can express our support by contacting him.

I personally am a political moderate, actually left leaning… so this has nothing to do with politics, as the delegate is a republican. I think it is a great idea that could use support from like-minded people. Why does PA, with large cities like Philadelphia and PIT not have a requirement, but we do? Same for FL and other states.

[Sample Letter - create your own]

Delegate Elliott,

I am a resident of Frederick County and read Meg Tully's article in the Frederick News Post this morning about your proposal to eliminate the MD front license plate. Great idea!!

I am offering my support and encouragement. I am a moderate liberal who is fiscally conservative. I like to praise (and criticize) both parties when appropriate, and I think your proposal is one that should be universally praised.

I have questioned the front license plate requirement myself. I am an avid car enthusiast, and am frequently passed by PA drivers who do not need a front plate, despite being a very populous and congested state itself. In today's economic climate, it seems highly logical that it would be simple and inexpensive to effect your proposed change, and reward the state with less costs. I think most people, given the choice, would rather save the state's money, or reinvest it towards education, infrastructure, or lower taxes. I have informed many of my car enthusiast friends who are likely to support us.

If there is anything that I can do to be of assistance, please do not hesitate to employ me in your efforts to effect this change.

Sincerely,

[name]
