Gov. Pataki made the rules for getting a license more stringent than they were. At the time he took office, the big problem was people registering vehicles with bogus insurance cards. He changed the system to make it almost impossible to fake insurance cards. He then required SSNs to go after dead beat fathers. Before he left office, DMV started matching the unchecked SSNs of license holders against the SSA records. Those licenses that did not match were immediately revoked. Pataki got it. Spitzer is schmuck. This traitor needs to be impeached.
By making the process of getting a driver’s license more restrictive, you increase the chances that the license is legit and the holder is generally a law-abiding citizen who would make the effort not to circumvent the law. This basic concept is apparently beyond the grasp of our illustrious Governor...
As to impeachment of this self-aggrandizer, I’d be all for it.
I kind of miss Pataki as Governor. Sure, he was a liberal Republican, but at least he was not as crazy as Spitzer.
I am glad not to live in New York anymore.
