Driver's License Stations Becoming Rare In Southwest Wisconsin

IT USED TO BE THE LAW IN WISCONSIN...
THAT EVERY COUNTY WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE A STATE MOTOR VEHICLE OFFICE, EVEN IF IT WAS OPEN JUST ONE DAY A MONTH. BUT MONEY PROBLEMS FORCED THE STATE TO RE-WRITE THE LAW, SO SOME COUNTIES CAN GO WITHOUT A D-M-V STATION. ASSEMBLYMAN LEE NERISON OF WESTBY SAYS HIS 96TH DISTRICT MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY OFFICES SOON...AND THAT'S INCONVENIENT FOR HIS NEIGHBORS, WHO MIGHT HAVE TO DRIVE TO ONALASKA OR RICHLAND CENTER FOR LICENSES OR ROAD TESTS. NERISON IS HOPING TO CHANGE THE BUDGET PLAN WHICH WOULD ELIMINATE ONE-DAY-A-MONTH LICENSING AND TESTING IN PRAIRIE DU CHIEN.
