This bill HB No. 107 to remove front plates is on the fence on going for a vote to get it out of the committee of transportation. So it is not even allowed to be voted on without this support. I was told that if it was called for a vote outside of the committee that it would pass by a large margin. This will save Ohio $1.65 million a year (and will continue to increase in savings as the cost of raw materials and transportation goes up in price) in its budget and you will save $1 on registration fees. And if you ever need to get new plates it will save you half of the amount. Please show your support and contact Chairman Courtney Combs (a man) at:

Writing an email showing support for the bill and following up with a simple phone call and leaving a message with your name and telephone number will be the best support you can show. Signing a support form for the bill might also help.
There are two trains of thought I have for this.
I could hold something at Quaker Steak and Lube or some other car gathering location to get signatures to include phone numbers and that is all. But email and phone support is crucial as well. If anyone has any ideas for this please let me know on a get together that could be arranged to show support for this. I am available Sunday evening and next Saturday during the day and all week during the evenings except Tuesday.
I am in the process of writing a general letter to which you would only have to email and make a follow up call to this specific person. If you are in favor of changing the plates from front and rear to just needing a rear plate and don't have the time to type up an email I will send you mine with a few small changes. So if time is not on your side PLEASE PM me on here and include your email address as it will make it infinitely easier to help you if at all possible. If not I can include it in a pm but it's a bit more difficult. This is right on the verge of being cast for a vote so please show your support.
If anyone has any ideas or wants to come forward to get something going by all means please do so. The committee goes into recess on July 1st so getting all of your info to them prior is incredibly important!
Thanks,
Troy
