The County managers should realize that those of us waiting in line to be served are infuriated by the sight of idle workers chatting, reading, or anything but working. I hope this idle time at home has given them a better work ethic! bob255 is right!

Ive been going to jeffco courthouses downtown and centerpoint for 30 years now. I have NEVER been there where there hasnt been at least 1 employee who sat there and read the newspaper for the entire length of my wait. A few times over 30 minutes.

Why does a soon to be bankrupt county have employees who get paid for reading the newspaper ?

Frankly, I think they should go let go 5-10% and then hold the remainder accountable. That is, make them WORK every hour they are there.

Not just the few we see on the front line.
