Making matter worse at the RMV

By Laura Crimaldi and Matt Stout Globe Staff,
The Globe did a good piece on the ramifications of the RMV not doing what the law (and the Legislature) told them to do, enforce Haley's Law. It appears now that as soon as this new system went on-line, the notifications to local police departments stopped. Haley's Law specifically called for the registry provide written notice to locals cops when someone has been charged with certain major offenses and are deemed to be an immediate threat. It's also mandated that local cops hand deliver the notice to the offending driver.
Baker has left Pollack to do her job in front of a legislative panel this week on the Hill. Funny how the RMV gets a hearing, but the State police don't. 
I wonder if FPD is participating in this.

How could FPD be participating when the registry never did what they were supposed to do?

Just an example of another state agency not doing what they are paid to do. I heard today that they are hiring a bunch of new people to do this job as non one has been assigned to do it in the past. So is that telling us that the MA DMV has NEVER done what they are required to do under the law? If so, let's fire all the managers and start from scratch as this is just plain ludicrous.

and to make matters even worse, Registry people who were asked to come to a hearing before the Legislature, didn't show up as well as the software contractor who installed the software that appears to have something to do with the lack of notifications. Everyone is watching what Baker does with this... will it matter? only time will tell.

I asked the Globe reporter if Framingham was asked in the survey, she said we were not.

they all think they are above the law. Unfortunately, it appears that so many state employees actually are. Although I think Baker has done a pretty good job, hearing this about the RMV, the State Police, the MEs office, and the public transit system failures, I think he is asleep at the wheel when it comes to his employees. They are being paid with my tax dollars and I expect them to do what they get paid for!
