| Inspection Stickers Return to index of stories... |
It's a sticky situation or is it? Many of the 500-thousand NH inspection stickers handed out since January are bubbling, shriveling and falling off windshields. State officials aren't sure what's wrong, but they are having the Maine company that supplies the stickers pay to reprint the 500-thousand stickers yet to be used. Until then, some people are recommending clear tape to keep the stickers in place. |
