One thing I didn't see addressed, is what is the population of the counties affected? Also, what are the daily numbers for the offices in those counties? That is, does it make economic sense to keep an office open that say, has two customers a day - which goes back to what is the population of the counties affected. Finally, a solution, in my opinion is to combine the drivers license office with another state social services office or with the county commission's office to make sure it's available. That way its closing the office if its truly economically feasible to do so, but at the same time, the service is still readily available and convenient for those affected by the closure. But hey, I'm not there or making those decisions. I hope its not racial/based on voting patterns but it certainly doesn't look good.
