Louisa County supervisors discuss future of local driver’s license services; no action taken
Summary
Supervisors debated whether to continue local driver’s license services, with Supervisor Kevin Hardin noting local tax support covers costs other counties receive from the state; public commenters asked about layoffs and past state schedules. The Board took no formal action.
The Louisa County Board of Supervisors discussed whether to continue offering local driver's license services during its Oct. 21 meeting but did not reach a decision.
Shawn Maine, Chair of the Louisa County Board of Supervisors, asked members for their views on maintaining the service. Supervisor Kevin Hardin said he remained concerned that the county subsidizes the service with local tax dollars while surrounding counties receive state funding to operate their license services. No motion was made to change the service; the Board left the matter open pending further information.
During the public input period, Randy Schlutz asked how driver's license services had been handled previously when run by the state; Chair Maine clarified that the state office had been open only twice a month at that time. Bill Small asked whether discontinuing the service would require layoffs in the Treasurer's Office; Maine responded, "no layoffs would occur." The minutes record no further action or vote on the topic during the meeting.
