Minnesota lawmakers are considering next steps after a legislative auditor’s report detailing multiple causes for problems with the state’s troubled vehicle licensing and registration system, MN-LARS.  Republican Representative Paul Torkelson of Hanska is not optimistic about prospects for fully fixing the system in a reasonable amount of time

Governor Tim Walz and state Senator John Jasinski were in Faribault, seeing first-hand how specialty license plate transfers are working in MN-LARS.  There were serious problems with that function in the past.
