New Jersey would close its centralized car inspection lanes and motorists would pay for their own emissions tests under a sweeping set of recommendations set to be released by the Christie administration today.

State parks, psychiatric hospitals and even turnpike toll booths could also be run by private operators, according to the 57-page report on privatization obtained by The Star-Ledger. Preschool classrooms would no longer be built at public expense, state employees would pay for parking and private vendors would dish out food, deliver health care and run education programs behind prison walls.

Lets not forget, it was the privatization of motor vehicle and the lax security that allowed the 9-11 terrorists to obtain drivers licenses. I'm for privatizing some services, but this one NOT at all.

Vehicle inspections are privatized in my state. It's no big deal.

If a call center can take over support for a companies product and reduce costs at the same time then privatization can provide government services at reduced cost. As for your car registration, at least you have a good chance of having an english speaking rep.

Same here all inspections and emissions are done at most garages where you take your car in for repairs.

Vehicle inspection: now they can farm it out to politically connected contributors who hire convicted felons because they're cheap. A bag of donuts on the front seat, if you go in at 10:00 A.M., will get you through with no brakes.

I like this guy and if he does decide to run for POTUS I am hoping he supports military cuts and is not a neo con. I want to to support him because he means business and so far is not catering to anyone.
