Edit: Oops, apparently GOKATS searches faster than I do.OK, here is the gig. I talked to the head of this division in Deer Lodge. She informed me that with so many specialty plates now available, the year the "Lewis and Clark " plates came out ( I don't remember what year she said, but it was 3-4 years ago) the department came out with the policy that any of the specialty plate backers could buy the right to have the promo for their plates on the back of all renewal cards sent out statewide for the year.
The cost to obtain this promo is the cost of sending out the renewal cards, which this year was approx. $3,600, damn cheap when it comes to fund raising. I don't remember exactly, but I think that of the additional $30 for MSU plates the university receives $22, so an organization would have to get 160+ folks in Montana to support their cause to break even.
The right to sponsor comes on a first come basis and is booked by different entities through 2009, so the next available slot is 2010. The lady I spoke with didn't have the list of who has committed the next few years, ( MSU may already be on the list) , but it may be food for thought for the MSU administration.
I just didn't take the time to pick out that particular quote.kmax wrote:Yep, it is here http://www.bobcatnation.com/bobcatboard ... php?t=4893
