Not only did he manage to curb public spending so we quickly got rid of our deficit, he privatized liquor stores and registries. Figured the private sector could do it better and what do you know he had it right. Although the government still takes a cut of the liquor sales, they control distribution, and I am sure get something for the registries us poor citizens get the convenience of going to a local spot to accomplish our renewals. This means no lineups, well once I had to wait for one guy, but you get the drift. Sadly that poor premier has gone on to other endeavours and we are once again saddle with a regular run of the mill politician. But I guess once in a generation to get a great politician is all we can ask for. It may take these other guys 40 years to get it all screwed up again...lol.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016073653349776611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-81012826470119565972012-05-23T21:55:42.226-05:002012-05-23T21:55:42.226-05:00we also hop on line here and just register via the...we also hop on line here and just register via the computer..here in New Brunswick you get a 'thingy' to print off and the DMV just pops the stickers in the mail to you...meantime you have the thingy in case you get stopped...love this system....wish we could do our drivers licenses online...sighElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697546364119777641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-65140220864601542612012-05-23T16:50:17.930-05:002012-05-23T16:50:17.930-05:00Sigh.

Well, I guess California is NOT the only place where the DMV promotes its own job security through scheduling glitches, thus putting yesterday's appointments tomorrow and the next day.

Then to top it off, you get nailed $300 for an oil change on a scooter? Some days it's just better to stay in bed, but if it's any consolation, and I'm guessing it isn't, you've made my day!!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-6759786174240827022012-05-23T09:11:17.887-05:002012-05-23T09:11:17.887-05:00North Carolina's DMV process was a breeze, esp...North Carolina's DMV process was a breeze, especially if you went to a nearby small town.

There's no computerized system for getting in, and they seem to be able to issue stickers (tags) with whatever computer system they presently have in use. The only thing is, there are certain days when it's not a good idea to go. Mostly Friday afternoons or Monday mornings. It's close enough to our place that if there's too much of a line-up I just try later.<br />I suppose your system will work fine if/when they get the bugs ironed out. Too bad you're in with the "test crowd". <br />Good luck.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.com
