Legislators grill DMV officials as privatization talks heat up

Mar 01, 2024

The march toward potential privatization at the Division of Motor Vehicles continues to heat up as the next legislative session approaches.

This week, legislators grilled DMV Commissioner Wayne Goodwin and other staff members on Wednesday about perceived issues in the agency at a Joint Committee on Transportation hearing.

SEANC First Vice President Wendell Powell (pictured with Sen. Michael Lazzara and SEANC lobbyist Chris Hailey, Jr.) attended the meeting and iterated SEANC's opposition to privatization efforts to both chairs afterward.

This week's episode of the SEANC View Podcast takes an in-depth look at the problems of privatization and the dangers of turning DMV over to a for-profit company.
