What is the current times people are waiting for their HCP renewal?
I am about to raise holy hell with my state senator over this bullshit Nashville is pulling and I need some anecdotal numbers to give him.
If those shits can't do their jobs in a timely manner, I imagine we can get some unemployed folks who will be thrilled to take their places.
I don't have much anecdotal evidence, except that my renewal took between 100 and 120 days, IIRC. I don't
have the envelope & letter with it handy at the moment.
However, I
do have the stats published by the Department of Safety:

Yes, they are for 2008...that's the last year for which they've published data.
I respectfully suggest that you couple whatever anecdotal evidence you get––and there's a good bit of it on ARFCOM––
with these official numbers. Remember to point out to your legislators that these are
averages: while it is indeed
true that some took
less time, others took
even longer.
