BALTIMORE (AP) - Maryland officials are responding to renewed concerns about Confederate symbols on license plates
Last week's U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding Texas' right to refuse to issue a license plate bearing the Confederate battle flag and in the wake of a massacre at a black church in South Carolina have brought the issue to the forefront.
Gov. Larry Hogan, a day after he announced that he is against the use of the Confederate flag on license plates.
Members of the Maryland Sons of Confederate Veterans can get a license plate which has a replica of the Confederate flag.
Erin Montgomery, Hogan's press secretary, said Tuesday that the Motor Vehicle Administration and attorney general are addressing the issue.
