ALBANY – Governor Andrew Cuomo’s plan to mandate the replacement of 10-year-old license plates is not being well received by voters.
The policy, which is scheduled to take effect in April for drivers renewing their vehicle registration, is opposed by 60 percent of registered voters in New York, according to a new Siena Research Institute poll.
And by an even greater, three-to-one margin, voters said the $25 replacement fee is unfair — with 75 percent expressing disapproval and only 23 percent saying the fee was reasonable.
Meanwhile, 10 percent of New Yorkers say they voted in the recent online poll to select a new license plate design, and another third say they were aware of the poll but didn’t vote.
