State driver's license stations all closed Monday, halting the
issuance of any driver's licenses or identification cards and
postponing the launch of a new, more secure system of issuing licenses
until at least Wednesday. The
new system, designed to foil identity thieves and meet security
challenges of the post-9/11 world, will cost the state $2.9 million in
lease and setup costs this fiscal year.

We do encourage everyone to be civil and not make rude attacks on other people in the Forum. We don't censor out those remarks, but few people enjoy reading them and we would like participation in our Forums to be a pleasant experience for everyone. And, by concentrating on what is said instead of who is saying it, even those who may disagree with you will be more likely to consider your opinions valid.
