The incremental costs to making a 2nd plate is minimal to the state, less then $5 per plate I bet. Really just the cost of the plate and a little bit of shipping. All the other cost (paperwork, etc) will essentially remain the same. Kid of the same theory behind value meals. In the grand scale of the state budget, it will probably add up to chump change. How many plates are issued annually? I am guessing no more then 100,000 (is that ## available anywhere?). So what is that, $500k? Now that is progress! Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for saving $$ and killing off the plate, but wow, way to attack the real budget fat. I call red herring.
