Dennis,

You missed my comment about only 46 states . . . . . there are actually 4 Commonwealths.

Eric,

The state of FL has got to be really ripping off it's constituents with those fees. Maybe it has to do with the fact that FL seems to have a vanity plate for every cause down to your local fast food drive thru crew and they see the excessive fees as a way to not only profit but also to cut down on the number of plates.

Find a lighthouse friendly state legislator and see if they will introduce private legislation to specifically create a FL lighthouse plate and by-pass the normal system.
