Kansans Demand Redesign of Hated License Plate

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has scrapped the state's new license plate design after facing bipartisan criticism. The design, which featured black, gold, and midnight blue colors, was met with disapproval from politicians and constituents alike. Governor Kelly announced that the state's voters will now have the opportunity to choose the next design, allowing for direct input from the public. The previous design was intended to address issues with the current plates' reflectivity, but its similarity to New York's license plate sparked accusations of favoritism. The new plates were set to be rolled out in March, with motorists required to purchase them for 50 cents during registration renewals.
