the number of Mass suspensions are increasing every day from the RMV
Another day, another batch of suspended driver's licenses by the
Registry of Motor Vehicles, bringing the total to more than 2,400
suspended licenses in Massachusetts alone. SHNS’s Chris Lisinski (pay wall) and MassLive’s Michelle Williams have the latest on the records-keeping scandal at RMV.
But, wait, there’s more: Michelle Williams at MassLive
also reports that state officials are “mailing notices for
approximately 45,000 convictions and/or suspensions issued to
out-of-state drivers in Massachusetts since March of 2018.”

I heard on WBZ today that some st the registry pulled up the driving records of the kid that killed the 7 motorcycle drivers and saw his commercial license had been suspended in CT but did nothing because he was not trained on how to do anything about that. If that is true this is even worse for the RMV don’t you agree Jim? But the governor just continues to do nothing. Failure to lead at its worst
I hadn't heard that and I agree. Just a complete failure of the entire system that cost people their lives. I keep reading that the software company that the RMV hired to make sure the out-of-state driver violations were flagged may have more to do with this issue than we know now. But the Governor seems to be avoiding the entire issue. In the end, I'll bet, there's an e-mail string that implicates the entire management, including Stehanie Pollack, Transportation Secretary..
Every day this story gets worse but we are not seeing much action to fix this and address the failures of the system. Why is there no clear fix and no clear accountability?
Today in the Globe, they write about an employee who looked at the violation of that truck driver who killed the 7 bikers, a few weeks before the accident, but was not trained to do anything more with the violation on his screen. He allegedly looked at it for 7 seconds discovered by an audit by Grant Thorton LLP. In the 60 page report they found that not only did the RMV failed to monitor commercial drivers but had a back-log of up to 10,000 alerts of Massachusetts drivers.
the administration is still not accepting any responsibility in any of this. And now the union has got involved and is taking a defensive position.
