Driver's Licenses
It appears that most state governors are now complaining
about new federal regulations required for the proper
issuance of a driver's license....The Feds want the process
tightened up and proper documentation shown at the
time of application....
Unfortunately this is a problem which the governors brought
upon them selves.....For years states issued as many licenses
as they could because it was a source of state revenue.
The more licenses issued resulted in higher revenue, which went
into the State's general fund, and therefore reduced other
tax payments of it's citizens....Now after the governors stop
crying they will have to play politics in order to recover the
financial shortfall...An increased fee = an increased tax....Pumps
