Connecticut License Plates

Political

Yes, this is the REAL Gov's plate. No, he wasn't in the car when it was removed and scanned. Lets just say it's good to have friends in high places!

This plate from a previous administration was used for special events, such as away trips, Gov conferences, Parades and such.

Oddly enough, the Governor seldom uses the number one plate. The current Gov's car wears regular passenger plates around town. The number one plate is only put on for special functions when he wants to be noticed. The normal day to day commute gets snarled with people driving too close looking at the car otherwise!
