I wonder if this is more serious that kicking a 6 year old out of senior
housing in the other thread

Sullivan is losing his tag because there is at least one Kansan who has held
the SULLY tag longer than he has.

A new state law passed earlier this year is eliminating all duplicate vanity
plates, starting in 2010.

"They have those little county designators up there, but at 70 miles an
hour, you can't really tell which county a tag is from," said Carmen
Alldritt, director of vehicles for the Department of Revenue. "Kansas is one
of a handful of states that was allowing the capability of multiple
registrations of the same vanity plate."

Alldritt said there are around 85,000 vanity tags in Kansas, with around
33,000 duplicates. Letters were sent to every vanity plate holder, informing
them whether or not they will get to keep their tag.

Seems as tho Kansas govt. is stupid to issue dups to begin with.

Vanity tags, as far as I know, always cost more - think here it is
double regular tags.
Governments are greedy to make a buck where ever they can.

Are they at least giving the people their exta vanity plate fees back?

Greed? Provide an optional product or service for a fee?

I just wish states offered MORE optional services. And that they made an
obscene profit on each. I can imagine someone paying $50 extra for a license
plate that glowed in the dark.

I bet there are some people who would pay $1000/year for immunity from
overtime-at-a-meter parking tickets. Or the same amount for a life-time
hunting or fishing license.

Actually weren't precisely duplicates as each has a County ID that makes
them distinct.

That wasn't enough for somebody...

I'd have to wonder if you got caught speeding in NJ or PA or CT, if the
police would know to include the county when writing a ticket. It is a
state plate, not a county ID in most places. Seems like it was a dumb idea
years ago.
