WASHINGTON – Days after the D.C. Council urged the White House to use “Taxation Without Representation” license plates on the presidential limo, Mayor Vincent Gray announced the president has agreed.
Have spoken to White House & want to thank @barackobama for agreeing to place “Taxation w/o Representation” DC tags on his limo. #FreeDC

A group of D.C. residents also petitioned the White House to change the license plate.
Despite numerous requests since the 2008 election, the Obama administration has refused to place the “taxation” tags on any White House vehicles.
