Letter | Getting ‘Clemson’ orange off South Carolina tags waste of taxpayer dollars

Wasting $42 million because some see orange

So, the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles is planning to spend $42 million on changing our license plates because some people think they see Clemson's colors on the plate. I don't see any purple on the plate.

Having moved here from Virginia, I see orange and blue, which are the colors for the University of Virginia.

Actually, you can see whatever you want in anything. As for the lettering being hard to read, if you can't read the large black lettering, you need a eye doctor.

To spend this amount of money to abolish this iconic license plate because of this trivial reason is absurd.

Gov. Haley, please stop the DMV from spending this money needlessly. If we have an extra $42 million in taxpayer money, I recommend that it be spent on roadway repairs.
