>endell, whose administration is facing a billion-dollar budget gap, said the PennDot workers in the unit would be assigned to other jobs in the department.

Which means absolutely nothing is saved or downsized at all.
Lateral shifts in employee positions.

Apparently “disbanded” merely means “reassigned”.

Disgusting.

...the employees - whose salaries total $895,500 - are being kept in place for now.

"Constituents come to our offices because they have a problem," Miskin said...."What are we supposed to do, turn them away?"...

Some witnesses before the grand jury tried to justify the use of state employees to do the routine errands by portraying the beneficiaries as elderly constituents in rural areas who couldn't manage for themselves.

In reality, the report said, car dealers, paving companies, bakeries, and other businesses took advantage of the free service....

The only rationale offered by many witnesses... was political: It would "engender good will between the elected member and his constituents, thereby increasing the chance that said constituents would vote for that elected member... This is precisely the type of politically motivated activity that the public should not be forced to fund."

In addition the inevitability of death and taxes almost every citizen can add “SNAFUs with the DMV”

Having experienced a number of these, I can state with certainty that the invervention of legislative aids has been invaluable. They do this as a public SERVICE, a word which seems to have been forgotten in the DMV/PennDOT.
