Legislators snub gator fans

Georgia state lawmakers are weighing in on the war over vanity alumni license plates.

A bill being introduced in the Georgia Legislature could limit alumni tags for out-of-state schools only if the other state returned the favor.

The bill comes amid news that the University of Florida - one of the University of Georgia's biggest rivals - had its application for a state tag approved.

They're just waiting for 1,000 alumni to plunk down $25 apiece to get the plates printed. That
irks state Senator Eric Johnson and state Representative Barry Fleming.

The pair say its virtually impossible to get a Georgia tag in Florida.
