John Q, does it have to be just one of those options?  I think she fits all three:
A) It is obvious now (and was obvious before the election to those responsible voters who thought it through) that she had no plan in place to achieve her campaign promise (I do not call asking for a million dollars a “plan”.), therefore she lied to the public just to get elected;
B) She and Dean, cousins and coworkers, bolstered each other during the campaign and ran as a tag team. She is now relying on his support to bail her out. We’ll see if he’ll pull an Alma Bryant on her and pay for her mistakes.
C) And I am sure of this last one, she is magnificently incompentent at running anything except a dog and pony show, which is all her campaign amounted to. 

This lady is one big gimmick. She presented no substantive information to back up her 10 minute tag promise. When will voters stop believing they can get something for nothing?

A little more efficiency in some of the offices would sure help. I always thought she was a little Hasty (pun intended) to claim 10 minute tags. That only seems to happen Tues through Thursday in the middle of the month, and only at the Micheal Blvd office.

Ok riddle me this.  Hastie is related to Commissioner Dean and was his #1 commission staffer when she ran for the Tag Office.  Of all people you would expect her to do her research and know before she ran what was required to manage an office that is budgeted by the County Comission.  The logical conclusions are; A)she outright lied to the public to get elected - knowing she could never come close to 10 minute tags without huge added expenditures;  or B) she and Dean conspired on this for political gain; or C) she is just outright stupid and incompetent to administer anything.  Enter Commissioner Nodien who may have his own motives or maybe even past grudges with her to offer up a ZERO (“you ain’t gettin nuten honey”) as his solution.  Now, Commissioner Dean would love to pull his former assistant and relative out of the fire but has to protect his own political capitol and save face.  Be assured if she was not “connected” they would be calling for her resignation!  Smells bad to me!

I know I need to remember my blinders when in public. I should just stay home and be a hermit.

Now wait4me. Don’t you know by now that if you are watching what other people are doing you are being nosy?

Was kanny referring to the local election, or national?

I went to the office in Theodore last week to get a tag and title for a truck.  I waited about 15 minutes, but during my wait I watched the 3 ladies behind the counter assist customers and 3 others stand around a desk talking and laughing.  When 1 of the ladies assisting customers was finished she got up and left the building, just going for a smoke I assumed.  Well 1 of the other three promptly sat in a desk and waited on a customer.  Now this leads me to believe the 3 stand around gossiping could have been helping others, but they were waiting till they had to before they went to work assisting customers.  The other two never helped one customer, and yes there were quite a few, the whole time I was there.  The one I assumed was smoking returned and went right over to the “gossip desk” and never help another customer while I was there.  I have the perfect incentive for these people a PAYCHECK, no real work no real pay, stop paying them by the hour and pay them by the customer and I bet they would be more than willing to assist all they could. 
Also doesn’t it seem funny that they ALL get faster around 4:30?

now that we are seeing that this election was a mistake, how do we start a recall election?

Ya know, last time I did renew a tag in person I kind of watched what was going on as I spent most of the morning waiting my turn.  It only takes minutes to actually process a simple tag renewal.  The problem happens when someone has a complicated request.  That will shut down the whole flow until that one instance is resolved.

It shouldn’t be that difficult to separate people into groups as they enter the building.  Those that simply want to renew a tag, etc. could get one color ticket and service windows could be dedicated to them.  That would create a consistent, steady service.

Those with more complex needs could be routed into lines that would better serve them and that would reduce the logjam at the windows.

Maybe some creative managerial practices would ease the problem without throwing another million bucks of tax payer dollars at an already bad system!
