Be ready for the additional notes in your state packet this fall bemoaning the lack of officials again.

Agreed. It's a publicity move, and I don't see how it actually has any benefit. I just don't see any way to verify the identity. The $7 is nominal enough, especially since it's good for three years.

I haven't read any follow up on the situation in Denver, but I'm still wondering how much this would have helped.

The other thing that cracks me up is the offer of amnesty to those who have marked "no" on the felony/misdemeanor question in the past. Those folks should have been honest before, and this would be a good chance to weed them out for integrity issues.
