I've seen a lot of posts about the state fees being prohibitive, and would like to throw in something I have read, and welcome feedback as to its validity.

The reason the fees are as high as they are, is that the CHL program is entirely funded by those fees. This is important because this keeps CHL records out of ordinary public record. Drivers license records are accessible to anyone, as the DL system is publicly funded.
