According to the Bangor Daily News, the proposed bill was put forth by Kent Ackley of Monmouth. The idea behind the change is that while Maine is a great place to vacation, it's also a great place to stay longer, start a business and raise a family. The idea behind the change is novel, but what would be the cost in replacing license plates across the state with a new slogan?

Additionally, Mainers have long been resistant to any sort of change. Even when it's something as simple as words on a license plate. Many years ago, the people of Maine were resistant to put a lobster in the background on license plates. A few years after that, people couldn't fathom including a chickadee on plates. We live in a really bizarre state.
