Clearly the chart shows that of the positive cases right now 98% were unvaccinated.

That is what the chart shows, but I do not believe this is correct. Cases for vaccinated individuals are not being accurately being tracked. Don't know how far off it is since the information is not being reported.

I was specifically referring to the charts in the link that MS Department of Health put on their website.

They are comparing vax. vs. unvaxed by age for cases, hospitalization, and deaths. However, instead of using a more meaningful comparison of let's say May - August, they are starting with January to start counting cases. This obviously would bump up the unvaxed cases as most people at that point in January would have been unvaxed.

For the cases chart, it shows a dramatic difference between vaxed and unvaxed. However, cases for vaxed individuals are not tracked unless they have severe cases (not tracking mild or asymptomatic cases).

Thinking about taking my nephews to the game tonight. What’s the best site for getting tickets?

The articles I've read piss me off even more. They make it sound like it's an honest attempt to collect what is rightfully the states, like a business that sells to a customer and the customer didn't pay.

I turned in my plates when I left the POS state, never let my Insuance lapse, and still have to pay a fine because it's suppsedly a second notice. All because some incompetent person at the dmv didn't record the license plate turnover.

The old phantom first letter trick. Louisiana at its finest right here.

Has any news outlets picked up this scam yet? I don't live in the state, so I have no idea. I have been checking the Nola.com and Baton Rouge advocate websites but have yet to see anything mentioned.

I'm hoping that they back off. Just think of all the people that moved out of state and have no idea a letter was sent to an address that they may have moved 10+ years ago.

I asked the operator at the OMV if there was any proof that a first letter was sent to my parents address such as certified mail or a signature required upon receipt since nobody recalls receiving such a letter. I was told that it doesn't matter if the letter actually made it to the residence, just the fact that the state sent one.

The letter states this is a second notice. They claim that a previous letter was sent to my parents. Therefore you are required to pay a minimum fine of $125 per vehicle.

My parents claim that they never received a previous letter from the state.

This is absurd. Finally got in touch with the OMV and was told I never turned in my plates for my vehicle when I registered in a new state. I mentioned to the woman that I turned in the plates to the DMV shortly after. She said that I needed to have documentation from that transfer. Who keeps stuff like that? One of the vehicles I don't even own anymore.

I have to pay $250 due to incompetence at the dmv. Glad I will never move back to that POS state.

Exact same thing just happened to me this week. Received a notice that I was delinquent on 2 cars and that I owed $1000 a $1300.

I moved to Texas 4 years ago and transferred my cars to the state as well. Turned in my Louisiana plates when I left at that time. I didn't keep the records because I never thought it was a big deal.

The state mailed my letter to my parents house, which I haven't lived in for over 15 years.

What aggravates me is that they will escalate collections to a wage garnishment level of I don't pay.

I did mail the plates to them.

My parents received a notice from the state of Louisiana yesterday saying that I owed $1,300 for failure to maintain minimum liability car insurance in Louisiana for the past 1.5 years. The thing is I have lived in another state for 4 years. Has anyone ever had an issue with this before?
