The real genius move would be make the bills one the standard state plate to make the fans of other teams have to pay to opt out of that plate šŸ˜†

DMV Rep: ā€œIā€™m sorry sir, since the [Jets][Giants] are not actually New York teams, we cannot offer a personalized option for a foreign franchiseā€¦but youā€™re welcome to go with our ā€˜Zubazā€™ themed option, which at least doesnā€™t say ā€œBillsā€ directly on itā€¦ā€

Same thing happens to most states when you take away their biggest city. What is your point?

Iā€™ll leave you to think about that, šŸ˜

FWIIW, the NYS tax burden was primarily via 'Wall Street'.

In recent years, that burden has shifted to 'Main Street'.

Its always been Main Street, thatā€™s why the working class loses 25 percent and more of their income annuallyā€¦,Ā

Yet with all due respect, western NY is is among the poorest states without NYC thrown into the mix, that doesnā€™t change no matter how one spins it.Ā 

Ā 

The city causes the state to focus on it. Ā WNY might be a poor state without the city, but it would have focused on keeping large businesses that started here and their jobs in state. Ā  Also, revenue needed to keep the rest of the state, WNY operational is much less than with NYC included. Ā The rest of the state may be able to balance a budget, etc. Ā

I'm a little shocked that Bills plates weren't already an option.Ā 

Ā 

Or is this just a new version?

I know they had a vanity plate for the bills a long time ago because my grandfather had it on his car (probably 25-30 years ago they came out).

Ā 

This is what it looked like.

Ā 

Ā 

I don't know if they stopped doing it or if they were still available but either way, this is an updated version.

Ā 

What I didn't know was the DMV offers a bunch of different custom plates already other than the 2-3 that they allow you to pick as the standard plates.

which is why New Jersey needs to start offering Jets and Giants plates.Ā  Seriously

Can an out of towner score one for say, wall dĆ©cor purposes?? šŸ§

Ā 

If you have a vehicle registered in NY you can.Ā Ā 

Ā 

Lets say you already have a vehicle registered in NY with plate number 123ABC.Ā  You order a personalized plate on the Bills background, say "GO BILLS" for the same vehicle.Ā  Now your registration will show both plates for the same vehicle, so you can hang the new one on the wall while keeping the old ones on the vehicle.Ā

I got vanity plates about 5 years ago and they definitely had Bills plates with a helmet on the left of the plate.Ā 
Ā 

I couldnā€™t think of anything personalized that I wanted to do that wasnā€™t already taken, so I scrapped the idea.Ā 
Ā 

To get a Bills plate with a personalized number is a double hit to the wallet, too.Ā 
Ā 

I opted to just do a personalized letter/number combo (Mets related) on one of the blue/gold plates.Ā 
Ā 

I think itā€™s an additional $60 every two years, but I could be mistaken.Ā 
Ā 

If Iā€™d have gone with a Mets plate AND the personalization, it would have been at least double that amount.Ā

It would be great if the extra proceeds went to the area & not go to the city !! You know that those will be more expensive so why not have the extra money stay home where it belongs the city gets more than it's far share as it is ...

Ā 

The DMV is a NYS government Department. Ā What are you talking about?

And it cost that & more to keep it a float i bet the city pays out much over their budget every year just to keep it a float . Any time i have ever been there the decay in the city is never fixed roads & bridges are terrible & never get better .

Ā 

Western NY to those from the city is back wards but a lot of that from the time i was a kid & lived there (from the opinion of most from that area) is because so much tax revenue goes to the city that there is little if any left for the rest that live in the state which is why the Bills we're the last to get funding for a stadium . 50 years to be exact .

Ā 

Yet the Mets, Yankees, Nets, & it wouldn't surprise me if some of the proceeds that the Giants & Jets got for their teams came from the city when they got their brand new stadium . But maybe that's just me i guess .

Ā 

With all due respect !Ā 

Ā 

Everything in this post is wrong.

So the vanity plates are $60 and personalized vanity plates are $90 initially with an annual renewal of $30/$60 respectively.

Ā 

When you think of it like a streaming service you might subscribe to, it's relatively cheap.
