Re: California and florida License Plates??

Any Minnesota listers.  Just for the record.  I know from experience that
Minnesota requires front plates.  It is NOT a fix-it ticket,  it is 40 some

parked in front of my house.  It was given by one of those parking meter police
on the scooters.  Ouch!
