LETTERS: On state’s new license plate, gun control

Letters for Dec. 28, 2015, issue, include this from Elizabeth Bagby of Charleston: “Overall, I like the new plate with the Anglicized motto. I liked the colors of the previous one better but color costs more, I suppose. This is the fifth plate in +/- 15 years. Why does it keep changing? The single sticker will be nice.”

GOOD NEWS: What do you think of the new state license plate?

You’ll start seeing a new license plate for cars in South Carolina early next year as a new design is phased in. The plate features a white background with an iconic palmetto tree and crescent design in the center that is a reverse of the state flag. (Some say it’s a crescent moon; others say it’s a gorget.)
