I would lower the fees. $140 is way too much. Any other state you can get your initial for $50 and renewals for $25. I remember when I was living in Texas and I had just turned 21 I was looking forward to getting my license. However, the $140 plus the cost of the class kept me from getting it for another 3 years.
I should add that because of the fees it was 11 months after I filled out the application and payed the state before I took the class. When your working and juggling college it makes it hard to find the extra money. I would also do away with the prohibition on bar carry and polling place carry. I'm sure there are a few designated drivers who wish they could have carried. In Idaho there haven't been any problems with people carrying at bars or polling places. Just don't drink while carrying.
