Grabher That’s my name

Lorne Grabher has had the same vanity license plate for almost thirty years. The plate contains his family name. He even has a vanity street sign with his name on it. the Department of Motor Vehicles first approved the “GRABHER” license plate around 1990 and has renewed it without issue ever since. in 2016, an anonymous person complained about it to the Department of Motor Vehicles, claiming it promoted hated against women. In response to the complaint, the license plate was canceled. Grabher and his attorneys have demanded the license plate be reinstated, claiming the decision was “discriminatory,” “unreasonable” and a violation of free expression.

People tend to make rules for others and exceptions for themselves.

Things really haven’t gotten worse. We’ve just improved our inter-departmental communication skills.

The Rules of Bureaucracy – A sadly accurate listing of bureaucratic rules:
Preserve thyself.
It is easier to fix the blame than to fix the problem.
A penny saved is an oversight.
Information deteriorates upward.
The first 90% of the task takes 90% of the time; the last 10% takes the other 90%.
Experience is what you get just after you need it.
For any given large, complex, hard-to-understand, expensive problem, there exists at least one short, simple, easy, cheap wrong answer.
Anything that can be changed will be, until time runs out.
To err is human; to shrug is civil service.
