CAPE CORAL, Fla. - More Fox Four viewers are speaking out about Cape Coral city manager, John Szerlag's license plate.

We recently discovered he has not changed his Michigan plates to Florida.

According to the Department of Motor Vehicles, you have ten days to register your car if you are a new resident. 

Eddie called and said, "I don't have a vehicle allowance and yet someone who has a salary of over 100 thousand had to have a car allowance? What?! He can't afford to provide a car for himself? This is outrageous!"

Joanne also called and said, "I think that they should take away his car allowance."

"Don't take away his allowance. That doesn't make any sense. Let him pay a fine and move on", said Dennis. 

Maria from East Fort Myers said, "Pay the fine that everybody else has to pay and be an example."
 
Szerlag sent us an email and acknowledged his license plate wasn't transferred within the specified time frame and will change his plates.
