Does a license plate design really matter?
Dear Gov. Dave Heineman,
Please consider the following:
1) Online voting is not an accurate way of measuring public opinion. Voting systems are routinely manipulated. In this case, its fairly obvious that this plate was not chosen by popular vote, but as a prank by those who mock the idea.
2) Although a license plate’s primary function is to assist law enforcement, it is by all measures of common sense a reflection of the state of Nebraska. Not only creatively (as a measure of our artistic ability) but economically, agriculturally, historically, and culturally.
3) This plate design indicates to the rest of the country that Nebraska just doesn’t care – and that’s the real misfortune. Above all, we should feel proud of what we do in Nebraska and equally proud of our image.
Of course you can’t “please all of the people, all of the time” but at least you can look like you tried. Nebraskans deserve better.
