New license plates ugly

After time to reflect at stoplights, in parking lots and on the road, may I say the new Utah license plates are ugly. The rust-bucket brown top does nothing for me. The hologram skier can only be seen at night with headlights, and the motto, thankfully, is small enough to be ignored. We paid money for this? I am waiting for the lawsuit from the prisoners who make this sorry excuse of a license plate that claims the punishment is cruel and unusual.

I suggest the Legislature cancel the budget of the state agency responsible. In addition, all remaining plates should be collected and dumped next to the granddaddy of all useless "artistic" concepts, the "Tree of Utah" on the salt flats.
