"The Governor’s campaign for new license plates is the latest money grab gimmick from Albany. It's notable that there’s only one plate that has something from upstate on it. The news that the new design plate will cost $25 with an additional $20 to keep your same number is ridiculous. We already pay some of the highest taxes and fees in the country. NYS should not be looking for more ways to nickel and dime motorists. Excelsior in New York now stands for ever higher taxes and fees,” said Senator Pam Helming.
