Today, Governor Jeff Landry issued the following statement following the resignation of OMV Commissioner Dan Casey.
Governor Landry’s Statement:
“I want to sincerely thank Dan Casey for stepping up to serve as the Commissioner of Office of Motor Vehicles at a time when most people would shy away from the position. Dan faced nearly impossible circumstances including a system that was designed in the 1970’s, with the demands of the 21st century. I am thankful for his leadership and wish him the best.
Our mission continues, as we work to permanently fix the system.
That is why I signed an Executive Order declaring a State of Emergency—there will be no more kicking the can down the road for our citizens.
Taxpayers should not and will not continue to foot the bill for failed government systems.
In the coming days I will name an Interim Secretary who will work to fulfill the mission of an OMV that works for the people.”
