Auger told CNN, “I’m not a political activist. But this is a non-offensive thing that I’ve had and it’s part of who we are as a family and who I am and there was zero reason for them to take it away.”
Her friend Corey West took it a step further, posting her story on Facebook and asking for his friends to share it to get the word out. The story of the funny vanity license plate quickly went viral, leading many news and media outlets to contact Auger for a statement.
Once word reached New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, he knew he had to correct this silly situation. The governor reached out to the Department of Motor Vehicles and insisted that Auger be allowed to keep her vanity license plate. According to CNN, Sununu reached out to Auger after getting the approval from the DMV and left her a voicemail stating that the situation had been cleared up and she was free to keep her “PB4WEGO” vanity license plates.
“Upon this being brought to my attention, I reached out to the Division of Motor Vehicles and strongly urged them to allow Wendy to keep the license plate she has had for the last 15 years,’’ Sununu said. “I recently left a message on her phone to share the good news that her plate will not be recalled.’’
Auger said she was relieved that she was able to keep the vanity license plates that she’s enjoyed for so many years. She posted her excitement in a Facebook post in August 2019 and wrote:
