Terri Lynn Land tweets about how “She made the DMV work”. Michigan doesn’t have a “DMV”.

http://www.eclectablog.com/2014/10/terri-lynn-land-tweets-about-how-she-made-the-dmv-work-michigan-doesnt-have-a-dmv.html

My wife turned to me the other night and said, “Terri Lynn Land’s campaign is so bad it’s almost like she’s running it herself.” LOL.

Today, we get more evidence of her failure as a candidate with this tweet (screenshot here for posterity):




Some states have Department of Motor Vehicles, often called “the DMV”. Here in Michigan, we have the Secretary of State or “SOS”. In fact, if you Google “Michigan Department of Motor Vehicles”, the top hit is the Michigan Secretary of State’s website. In other words, there is no such thing in Michigan as “the DMV” and any driving-aged Michigander knows that.

The woman had the Secretary of State job for eight years. You’d think she would have noticed that. Apparently not or she wouldn’t tweet it out to the entire damn world. The fact that the image she tweeted says, “Want to know how you can trust Terri to make Washington work? She made the DMV work!” just adds hilarity to the pathetic lameitude of her completely failed campaign.

You can do vehicle stuff by mail, but sometimes you have to go in. Driver's license photos, etc. I usually forget to send in the renewal for tabs until it's too late. Land closed a LOT of SOS offices and opened "superstore" offices. That's her solution. Bigger offices, fewer of them. Now you had better budget 2 hours if you have to go in.

There was one person in front of me.

Almost 20 minutes to enter office, get pic made, write out the check.

Just a slice of life in small town living.

Get to the SOS office a little before lunch time or better yet, five to ten minutes before closing.
You've never seen lines move so fast. Last three times I employed that tactic I was in and out in less than a half an hour. Employees come outa cracks like cockroaches at night.
If you get in the doors before time they must take care of you and no one wants to work past five o'clock or miss time off their lunch.

Ending Spending. They've been polluting the airwaves with lying hit pieces slamming Gary Peters. It's backfiring big time, lol.
