Best of Las Vegas -- Las Vegas Review Journal

Department of Motor Vehicles winner of
Least Effective Public Agency in the Reader's poll.

Here's an experience that actually happened last year at the Department of Motor Vehicles. A pleasant, new Las Vegan arrives first thing in the morning, stands in line for two hours -- just to get a number to get in a different, six-hour line. But he's told, "That's not an insurance card, you'll have to come back another day." Customer: "But my insurance company says this is my insurance card." Worker: "It's not. Move along." Then she says to co-worker, "I'm going to lunch!" Second least-effective public agency: Clark County Commission, but the DMV got six times as many votes. So there.
