I can’t think of a reason for the extra hassle and expense.
If they didn’t spend all that money on different license plates for each county, they have to spend it on education and we all know that sure shit don’t want to do that.
Wait, other states don’t? I dunno, I live in Mississippi, I always thought the other states did the same. Guess I never really paid that much attention.
If it counts for anything, at least Mississippi doesn’t require two tags, one for the back and one for the front, they only require the rear tag.
Also, our vehicles don’t require inspections anymore, which is both a bonus for your wallet, and also very frightening when you realize how many vehicles out there are on the verge of brake failure or something equally dangerous.
