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.

Kansas Scraps Unpopular Blue and Gold License Plate, Starting Over

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly halted the production of a new blue and gold license plate design after facing widespread criticism. The design, which featured mostly gold with a navy strip across the top and no art, was deemed dull and unappealing by many. The governor promised a public vote on several possible designs, responding to the threat of intervention by the Republican-controlled Legislature. The current license plate, which has deteriorated over the years, will remain in use until a new design is chosen.

Kansas Governor Reverses Course on Controversial License Plate Design

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has announced that production of a new license plate design will be halted following widespread criticism. The current design, unveiled last week, received bipartisan backlash for its bright yellow color and resemblance to the New York license plate. Kelly's office plans to involve Kansans in the decision-making process by allowing them to vote for their favorite design. The governor emphasized the importance of a license plate being easy to read and stated that the new design should be "crisp and clean." The transition from embossed to print-on-demand plates may cause a delay of up to six months.
