Florida Joins Clemson, Auburn on Georgia Roadways

The University of Florida is joining the ranks of Clemson University and Auburn University as the only out-of-state colleges with Georgia license vanity plates.

Hopefully, the Gator faithful can help defray the impact of the reduced state tax collections. In January, tax collections were down 7.1% or about $140 million from a year ago. Sales and income taxes account for the majority of the State's tax revenues. If tax collections do not increase, then the state could be looking at not being able to meet its budget for the fiscal year. The budget is approximately $20 billion for the fiscal year July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008.
