Two area congressmen and their challengers in November’s election agree that language requirements in applying for a driver’s license are too lax.
“That’s outrageous,” U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, D-17, said Thursday when discussing policies that allow the use of an interpreter during both the written and skills portions of a driver’s license test.
Holden and his Republican opponent in the November election, Toni Gilhooley, both said Thursday that English should be recognized as the “official” language of the United States, which would, among other things, require everyone to speak and read English when applying for a license.
