The idea of a letting corporations like Disney or Nike sponsor license plates is being floated by state Sen. Mike Fasano, a New Port Richey Republican and transportation budget chairman.
The legislation, which is still being crafted, would generate money for the state but use some proceeds to give drivers a discount on annual registration fees if they get a corporate tag.
Here’s my example showing why this is stupid idea:
Eventually, that is what Florida’s license plates would come to look like, because if you allow one corporation to sponsor a tag, the state pretty much has to let any corporation do so.
Of course, Florida already lets corporations all but sponsor campaigns and elections, so letting them emblazon license plates should come easily.
