For Alabama's Poor, Budget Cuts Trickle Down, Limiting Access to Driver's Licences. (The New York Times, 109/2015)
As of last week, Tuscaloosa is the nearest location where a person here can get a driver’s license, after the state decided to stop providing services at 31 satellite locations around the state.
