Cost to the State of Ohio: I'm pretty sure there will be no reduction in what they charge John Q Public, but they'll only have to be stamping 1/2 as many tags.

Continuity: None of the states surrounding Ohio require front tags.

Electronics: Apparently modern-day sensors that go into front bumpers these days requires extra expense to be adapted to the positioning of front tags up there. Don't know that much about this, but the dealerships argue that it makes their cars more expensive compared to those just across the boarder.

Aesthetics: people (especially historic and foreign vehicle owners) have lobbied for years to jettison the front tag requirement because they just don't like the negative effect it has on the looks of the car.

I guess it's been debated for years...the 'no front tag' lobby finally won out. :dance:
