Springsteen album could become N.J. license plate

? A New Jersey lawmaker is hoping to get mileage from Bruce Springsteen’s classic album “Born to Run.”

State Sen. Raymond Lesniak is driving a proposal introduced Thursday to create specialty “Born to Run” license tags for Garden State drivers. Proceeds would go to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, a Springsteen-supported charity.

To become law, the bill must be approved by both houses of the Legislature by Jan. 9, the last day of the session, and be signed by the governor. The tags would cost $50, plus a $10 annual contribution.

A resolution honoring The Boss on the 30th anniversary of “Born to Run” was approved in a voice vote by the state Senate. Senators heard a recording of Springsteen’s “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” before casting their votes.
