wrong again fucktard, the unequitable enforcement of this fee will be its undoing. Driving may be a privlige but if VA decided to charge 5K for a DL, then the government would simply step in and take a larger portion for itself, and on top of which require VA to provide affordable public transportation for its citizens or risk losing all federal funding and having its authority to mandate transportation stripped from it. There are federal standards for cost that states are allowed to offset through fines,fees,taxes, and administrative charges. So they cannot arbitrarily charge 5k for a DL without having to explain to the Government their reasoning for it. Every little penny, states charge in fee,taxes,fines etc... must have a valid reason, not simply to puff up the states transportation trust fund without limit.If the commonwealth was actually that broke (which I cannot see how this is possible) then obviously a federal audit of the budget should be done to see where the money is going and why it's not being better managed.
