Rhode Island might ditch Mr. Potato Head license plates after Hasbro moves to Boston

This news article reports on a proposal by two Rhode Island lawmakers to discontinue Mr. Potato Head specialty license plates following Hasbro's decision to relocate its headquarters to Boston. The plates, first issued in 2002 to celebrate the toy's 50th anniversary, cost $40 with half the proceeds supporting the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. The proposal cites potential economic harm and loss of tax revenue as reasons for ending the plates, despite their steady contribution to the food bank.
