Don't know who the author of this is (someone in the lege obviously) but
does anyone know offhand how many DMV offices there are in St. Tammany?


>These facilities raise revenues...


I'm not sure I understand how they raise revenues that would affect the
local area. I believe the cost of a driver's license, new car tag, etc. are
the same throughout the state and those revenues obviously go into the state
kitty.

Maybe they could get the mobile DMV that SBP had to use for so long.

-----------------------------------------------------
St. Tammany doesn't ask a whole lot from state government, mainly
help with
its infrastructure to keep up with its growing population that adds
jobs to
the economy and revenues to the state. We are not the home of many
state
offices.

Serving in the legislature, I fully understand and appreciate the
financial
difficulties facing state government. Like ordinary citizens,
government
needs to also tighten its belt and make due with the money it has.
Citizens
cannot bear any additional tax increases. And, unfortunately, that
means
cuts to government services.

However, the last area that should be cut are the areas that
directly serve
citizens like the Mandeville Motor Vehicle office. These facilities
raise
revenues and provide direct assistance to those people obtaining and
renewing their licenses. How much bureaucracy has little or no
citizen
interface or involvement? Cut those areas first.

If you want to comment on the closing please email

We will be having a town hall meeting at the Mandeville Community
Center
next Wednesday evening at 6:30pm. The Community Center is located at
3101
East causeway Approach, Mandeville, LA, 70448.

I would also like to take this opportunity to show my support of
Trilby
Lenfant for Mayor of Mandeville. Trilby is someone who appreciates
our city
and works hard to better it for our citizens. She has served the
city for
many years with honesty and integrity as a member of the Council and
Council
Person at Large. Please support Trilby Lenfant for Mayor.
