Is Sammy Sosa Turning White?
On Tuesday, Secretary of State Jesse White unveiled a program that allows Illinois motorists to recycle old or obsolete license plates. For a few weeks now, license plate recycling bins have been available outside each of the 136 Secretary of State vehicle facilities, but the recycling program was officially announced on Tuesday, in order to coincide with Earth Day.
The old license plates will be shredded and sent to a scrap metal vendor, but will not be used to construct new license plates. Since 2004 Illinois license plates have been fashioned from 99% recycled aluminum.
For a history lesson on Illinois license plates, visit this site, which is very pretty but looks as though it hasn’t been updated since 2001.

Hey, its Jesse White...The only Illinois politician not involved in scandal!
Maybe every public official should have their own tumbling team.
@ThisGuy:
Someone hasn't seen "The Flying Blagos" trapeeze act.
280 bucks for that purse?? Yeah, that's worth it.

Another gem, my friend.
