9-11 License Plate Funds .. Where did the funding go?

Out of California ..



We can all agree that 9-11 attacks
caused a lot of sorrow and loss
(especially of beloved family members across the USA)

These specialty License Plates
from the State of California

were set up to support the lofty
charitable goal ..
of helping those who lost parents
(either 9-11 or due to the death of their Law Enforcer Parent too)
with Scholarship funds ..
to help them afford their education

as well as fund anti-terrorism needs ..


NOW The Associated Press ...
decided to review where the FUNDS from these plates was going ..
(note that the state stopped funding the scholarships SEVEN Years ago)

(hmm ... that should be a CUE here .. look for where the FUNDs really went)

what did the AP Find out?

-- BOTH the previous and CURRENT Governor RAIDED This fund to plug Budget Deficits
(say what? That certainly was NOT what these Funds were designated for!)

and let's see .. some of the OTHER uses ..
-- livestock diseases
-- workplace safety
(NOW what do these have to do with Anti-Terrorism???)

IF you've PURCHASED these plates ..
or ANY Specialty Plates ..
shouldn't you KNOW That the Funds you pay for them
are being USED for the PURPOSE or charity you wish to support?

IF you are in this State .. (or any other)
PLEASE .. reflect on your choice ..
and .. think .. do I need to ask any questions
and find out if MY extra Fees are being used wisely?

OR ..

like in CA .. are you just FINE with the funds being used to plug BUDGET DEFICIT HOLES?
