TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – Kansas Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan says
the state is withholding part of the payment to the company
responsible for the new motor vehicle registration system while
problems are being resolved.
Glitches have forced residents throughout Kansas to wait in long
lines to renew their tags since the $40 million system went online
in May.
Jordan told the Topeka Capital-Journal on Monday the final 10
percent of a $25 million contract with 3M Co. is being withheld.
There’s no timetable for making the payment. However, the
Department of Revenue is delaying the next phase of its computer
modernization that involves driver’s licenses. That contract is
also being handled by 3M.
