that's some heavy incompetence by the paper pushers.

for the failure to complete these revocations before this accident.

A chronically understaffed department can't keep up using overtime - it burns people out.

then a supervisor is responsible. You have to be able to go to those over you and say, "My department can't process the work, we need help before somebody is killed." And if that manager-supervisor has declined to reallocate resources, then it's on them.

Somebody's responsible for not getting the job done.

I'm a supervisor and HR keeps saying there is a hiring freeze.

Would you have the flexibility to re-prioritize work in your office?

Is there anything done by the people under your supervision that could result in someone's death?

If it were me, I'd make sure my ass was covered with memos and such for the eventual lawsuit.

Supervisor cannot do anything if they are not allocated money. A quick read of the story seems to imply the computer system was probably intended to reduce/eliminate employees.

and as Pete Buttigieg says,"I didn't get it done." I doubt we will see as much candor in this situation.

n/t

Politicians not giving a shit until people die and the media hammers them for not doing their jobs. These happen to be Republicans - from what I've seen it usually is.

We need good media.

Just wish that there was some available .

Not to sound snide, but there are plenty of people driving with suspended licenses, revoked licenses, or no license at all. I have seen a lot of severely expired plates, too. In a bigger city, it would pretty easy to go unnoticed for a long time.

as well as wrecker trucks...

And certainly this would stop the truckers who need to be stopped. I'm sort of venting on my own here from my experiences with people who should not be driving. I'm really not sure how much more the police and DMVs could do.
