State Senator Dino Rossi (R-Issaquah) submitted a bill this year to raise more $$ thru special license plates. He could give you the status, or why it didn't float.
The "vanity" plates we've had in Wash have had the extra money going to WDFW's Wildlife Fund, which, with sales of fishing/hunting licenses, covers about 1/3 of DFW's operating budget. Believe this is outside of the general fund, no??
See the wa.gov/wdfw/ site for 3 budget reports on the biennium just ending...
My Dakota's plates say "SCALY" and I sure hope my extra bucks are going to the fish!
