COUNTYWIDE

Pinellas County residents love wildlife, but when it comes to our auto license plates, apparently we love sports as much or more. According to the Pinellas County Tax Collector, the top 12 specialty license plates ordered in Pinellas during 2006 were: No. 1 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers; No. 2. - Protect Wild Dolphins; No. 3 - Save the Manatee; No. 4 - Protect Our Reefs; No. 5 - University of Florida; No. 6 - Protect the Panther; No. 7 - Helping Sea Turtles Survive; No. 8 - Save Our Seas; No. 9 - Florida State University; No. 10 - Choose Life; No. 11 - Marine Corps; and No. 12 - Tampa Bay Estuary. If you want to boost the numbers for the Protect our Reefs tag this year, Mote Marine Aquarium in Sarasota will provide a free ticket and a key ring to anyone who orders one of the tags this month.
