Granny can keep her plates
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A Central Ohio grandmother fought for and won the right to keep her personalized license plate after allegations that they were profane.
Pat Niple, 74, said she wants to set the record straight about her problem. "I'm not an obscene granny," Niple said.
Niple's personalized license plates are NWTF, an abbreviation of Northwood Tree Farm -- a business she owned with her late husband. It also means something else, officials said.
Niple was told that her license plates she has displayed for 10 years would be taken away. She said she was astonished and appealed to keep the abbreviated reminder of her late husband's business.
"You can't take any letter of the alphabet and make something out of it. I don't think we need to give in to obscenity or derogatory things," she said.
After weeks of debate and national media attention, Niple's plates were returned to her last weekend.
