The state Legislature is a fascinating thing to watch. Regardless of the issues facing Colorado, every year our lawmakers seem to find time to get lost in some wholly peripheral cause. This year it is license plates. Many Coloradans see growth as the No. 1 issue facing the state.
Education ranks right up there, too.
And, the state s tax code could use a good overhaul. Nonetheless, there are now nine license-plate bills in the Legislature. One would move the authority to issue new special plates from the Department of Revenue to the Legislature. Another would add county name stickers to rear plates. Still another would exempt motor homes owned by disabled veterans from the 12,000-pound weight limit for special plates.
