Description: "I think it's something that the citizens of our state can certainly get behind. I mean, I don't think there's any better motto that we could have, you know as individuals or as citizens in the state of Missouri, than our national motto of 'In God We Trust'" |
Since the proposal is for a new state-issued plate, the new design won't cost drivers a thing.
The proposed plate would serve as an alternative Missouri drivers could pick instead of the "blue bird" plate that was issued in 2007.
From the state capital, I'm Lauren Mickler.
Intro: A phrase normally found on dollars and coins is proposed to make its way onto you car in Missouri.
