re: #322 albusteve

here in NM the DMV stuff is all contracted out privately…offices are everywhere and one never waits for too long…people love it altho we do pay a bit more…the Sec of State offices up in Mich are a nightmare of waiting, inefficiency etc…union droolers on the state dole….big difference

Our DMV actually works amazingly efficiently, and makes excellent use of technology. Wasn’t always that way, but now there are minimal waits. Some things, like license plate renewals, are “contracted” out and a person will pay a little extra, but the service is still also available at DMV and I’m not sure many folks use the “contractors”.
