Nice. What’s the source?
But, it will probably be a while before MA catches up to where Texas was even before we left for our "MA exile": license tags by mail, and the same for drivers' licenses -- except when you need a perodic eye test.
And now, 'most everything can be done on line.
But MA will probably never stop using State troopers (and their expensive multi-radio-equipped patrol cars) as "flagmen" on road projects (what a stupid waste!!!). We Texans gripe about our wetbacks -- but, at least we are smart enough to stick them out in the hot sun with cheap flags, rather than tie up fully loaded cruisers and their super-expensive union drivers on overtime...
They’ve been around since BEFORE we even had a National government. Those old taverns that needed a permit along with just about every other business. It’s not going to change.
There is nothing as gridlocked as the bureacratic mind.
A great many things that seemed permanent have been done away with in the past 230 or so years— at least in this counry.
— Bills of Attainder
— Corruption of Blood
— Ex Post Facto Law
— Chattel Slavery
— Women Forbidden to Vote
etc.
This can be done, if enough people get behind it. The choosing of sides has already begun.
Doesn’t matter. If my taxes pay for a road, I have every right to drive on it, period. I can properly be required to keep insurance, but then my driving skills are between me and my insurance company, NOT THE GOVERNMENT. Or are you one of those who has no problem asking government’s permission to exercise a natural RIGHT, in this case the right to travel where and as you will?
Q: Should illegals be issued drivers licenses?
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has a long history of pandering to illegal immigrants. During his first term, Patrick reversed a decision by the previous Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney, which gave state troopers the power to arrest illegal immigrants. Let me point out that Romneys policy makes sense because, as the title may imply, illegal immigrants are here illegally. They are breaking the law. As such, they should be arrested. Shocking, I know. Deval Patricks rationale for promptly reversing Gov. Romneys decision was that state troopers have a very big job as it is, without having to add enforcing federal immigration laws on top of it. Ah, well there we are. Those poor state troopers are just too busy enforcing other laws. So if they pull over someone for speeding and it turns out that the individual is also an illegal immigrant, too bad! After all, according to Patrick, they have more important things to dolike enforcing laws that dont alienate one of Patricks key special interests (the immigrant community).
But thats just the tip of the iceberg. In November, Patrick announced that he would be pushing for in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, along with giving them drivers licenses.

who needs to have a pilot’s license? (/s)
It's called a subsurface drain layers license and it is usually an addendum to a plumber's license. It really doesn't mean much because each job needs to be inspected at every step of the way AND the plans and as builts need to be kept on file with the state. My Dad had a SSDLL since 1950
Is that something new? I built my home in 2006 and I had a permit for my septic, but no one ever came out to inspect it after installation.
My Dad has had his license since 1950 and the procedure has been in place since then. Sometimes if all of the percs are good and the system is essentially over sized AND the inspector likes you he'll sign off on the system without a final. If he decides he doesn't like you he can make your life miserable -- Like the time the inspector with the most to prove made him put in a separate system in for a laundry room. (Another 1000 gallon tank and two 50' pits for a laundry room)
BTW she also made him reconfigure the drain through the basement wall to add 1/4 inch of pitch over the 120 feet to the tank. -- This was to punish him for beginning to back fill because she was three days late in making the final inspection.
OK. I see what you're saying there.
I'm glad that I hired a guy to build a turn-key system for me. The inspector in my area is known to be a real jerk, but the contractor knew how to play him.
You CAN travel ‘where and as you will’, just not on a road. Viel Gluck humping it. And you know nothing about me, so how about you stuff your natural RIGHTS where the sun don’t shine.
Thought as much. May your chains rest lightly (or not).
