Why Do Maryland Elected Officials Piss Away Our Hard Earned Money

Well NO SH!T! I needed to be reminded that my drivers license is compliant. That goes for every single driver in the state. Now I could see letters going out to people who are yet to be compliant but this is a load of crap and a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. Just another reason why businessmen like President Donald Trump are getting elected. The career politicians currently in office are just plain stupid.

This is typical Maryland politics. Hogan has done nothing to eliminate waste of our tax dollars and reduce government. Hogan has continued to allow incompetence in the Administration positions be cause of the political affiliations. They were promoted for this reason. That is the only way you get promoted in State service not because of your knowledge of your job, but how good you kiss a$$ or who your friend is. I retired from the State of Maryland because I could not keep working for these stupid idiotic policies put in by idiots that know nothing but act like they are doing something.

It is not the compliant drivers you should be concerned with. You accomplished NOTHING. How stupid can bureaucrats get. or is that being re-evaluated daily? Check on the uninsured, Goofey.

Joe,

This makes no sense! I received a letter with instructions on what I needed to do to make my license "Real ID" compliant. I followed the instruction, gathered the necessary, made the appointment and went to MVA with all of the required paperwork. The process was very efficient, the person I spoke with reviewed my documents and said... your all set. Here is the problem, I did not receive a new license. I have the same license with the same star so, what did I accomplish? If you can explain this you know more than the nice person I spoke with at MVA.

With over 4,350,000 licensed drivers in MD, that's a lot of paper, envelopes, labor, printing and postage. Let's call it 30 cents per, for a total of $1.3 million.

What is funny is, they send out emails to tell you that you are not REAL ID compliant... I got several, then get this, you go to the MVA to renew or update your licences, and you have to get a new one taken, they can't or really won't give it to you on the spot, they have to send it to you in the mail... Get that???

I don't have a *. I have received no correspondence from MVA. My license is good for 3 more years. I ain't doin' sh*t...

Not that someone couldn't find it out if they really wanted to but I would have edited out the mailing address.

Meanwhile, Delaware had no issues getting everyone RealID compliant, BACK IN 2009! Maryland is 10 years behind!

If you think that the MVA is a joke you should look at the State Highway Administration in Worcester County. The grass along the roads is at least 2-3 feet tall and all the employees do is ride around all day doing nothing or play with the zero turn mowers in the parking lot at the SHA shop. They ride by tree limbs that are in the road, trash that is in the road and dead animals that are on the road. The state roads in Worcester County have never looked this bad.

How do the ILLEGALS get these documents, I have to have, to be compliant. OH ILLEGALS get a free pass to drivers license and voting rights in Maryland.

To the person who stated I should be worried about exposing my address as someone might come after me, I live on a private one lane road with one way in and one way out. If someone wants to venture into my street, be prepared to be confronted by multiple neighbors. You will be on cameras from multiple properties as none of us here mess around. Now, once you get to my property notice all the No Trespassing and Do Not Enter signs. You can figure out thew rest of the story from there, good luck.

You must have been one of the late ones to become compliant. What did you do, ignore all the letters you got advising you to take care of it. That letter is to thank you for FINALLY doing what was requested of everybody to do. I did my duty in a timely fashion, and I didn't get one of those letters. Only you slowpokes got the letter. Don't be trying to say everybody got one. You just told on yourself that you were a procrastinator.

Just another one of their screw ups. People renewed their licenses and it had the star on it that verifies it as being and "Read ID" the problem was some people didn't actually provide the needed information required for "Read ID". I guess they got tired of people calling and asking if they were compliant or not so they sent everyone in question a letter.

Then how is it that illegals can keep getting a drivers license?
