BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - New York State wants to put another dent in your wallet by forcing everyone to get new license plates. The mandatory change means the state will be getting more of your money.
Whether you're getting a new car or not, come April you'll be forced to buy new license plates at $25 a set. It's $20 more to keep your same plate numbers. New York State's budget crisis is to blame, and it will put $126 million dollars in the state's coffers.
Erie County Clerk Kathy Hochul said, "I have a real problem with that. It's a lot of money for the state that they're collecting, but they're taking it right out of our pockets."
