frustration

What did he say when you told him that?

Colorado Springs budget crunch has made national headlines several times. Either you get low taxes, or you get government offices that are open seven days a week. Of course most people's response would be, "Buuuut I need to use XYZ government service, it should be open! Cut the other programs I don't care about so the ones I do are available!"

It'll be interesting to see what happens with their experiment in the long term.

I have an answer.
Cut Government fat.
The "Site office manager" of LMNOP Doesn't need 140K a year to sit on his ass and BS With the guys about what he did all weekend while doing minimal administrative duties.

There is not enough economic threat for the government. just about everyone else has faced paycuts and layoffs, Comparatively the government FAT at the top has not seen this.
I'm not talking about the Clerk that faces the lines of people everyday, or goes in and punches the clock and works his ass off everyday for 30-60K.
I'm talking about the guys that go in at 10, break for lunch at 11, Come back at 2 only to leave at 3:30 while bilking the taxpayers for an exacerbating amount of money. Congressmen/Women, Senators that don't show up for > 10% of their votes.

A quick google search even from my phone was all that was necessary to tell you the hours.

Sorry man but this is like taking your kid to school on a saturday and getting pissed that teachers aren't there.


I don't even see why this building should be open 4 days a week. 2-3 would be more than sufficient. Saves taxes too.

^+1 But I doubt if I'll see any action that's needed like this in my lifetime

Flush it all and let the City deal with it. The waste water plant is open 24/7...
