Illinois Residents May Drive Mobile Billboards

The Chicago Tribune reports Illinois is deciding whether to allow advertising space on its state license plates. If approved,corporate sponsors will be permitted to put their business logos on the plates, which would be offered to drivers at a lower price.

Corporate plates have already been approved in Texas, and produced by a firm called My Plates. 489 plates have been sold in Texas since Nov 2009 and $51,805 has already been raised for the state’s general revenue fund.
