New License Plate Features "In God We Trust"
KENTUCKY....
Governor Steve Beshear's administration moved ahead Friday with plans to issue an "In God We Trust" auto license plate next year. Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock says the new design would be made available as an alternative to the current "Unbridled Spirit" plate at no extra charge beginning in mid-January. The move drew quick support from Kentucky's faith community. Transportation Cabinet spokesman Chuck Wolfe says the agency has the legal authorization to issue the new license plate, an act that could invite a legal challenge, but the cabinet believes it is acting well within its legal authority. Independent gubernatorial candidate Gatewood Galbraith, who supports making the new plate available, questioned why Beshear chose to offer it during his re-election campaign. Beshear spokeswoman Jill Midkiff said the governor publicly announced his support for such a plate nearly three years ago.
