Thousands of Shelby County residents and businesses continue to suffer extended waits for their license plates. A process that had previously averaged a brief wait in line or a few business days to renew by mail has become a test of patience. Shelby County listeners have told KWAM that the wait to receive a prepaid license plate by mail can takes weeks or months, and people waiting in line may not even get in to renew. Shelby County Clerk Wanda Halbert says her office is playing “catch up,” mailing out about 22,000 new plates last week. Halbert also stated yesterday that the delays are not her fault.
Shelby County Clerk candidate Jeff Jacobs joined “Wake Up Memphis” to discuss how this problem occurred & how he believes it could be fixed. Jacobs worked over two decades in the Clerk’s office.
Listen to the entire discussion below. KWAM has extended an invitation to Ms. Halbert’s campaign to discuss this topic.
