VANITY PLATEFUL

We get it. Whatever floats your boat, as the idiom goes. First, we have to admit, we don’t know it to be fact, but we are told that when Elaine McLain was mayor pro tem last year in Birmingham, she coughed up the added charge of $30 to the Michigan Secretary of State for a personalized license plate that said PROTEM. But we do know, confirmed by her personal Facebook page postings, that her new license plate says ZMAYOR, now that fellow city commissioner members, after last November’s election, voted her to the position. And then there is her coffee cup, which says: KEEP CALM. I’M THE MAYOR.
