TWELFTH ORDER
Of BUSINESS –Duties &
Responsibilities!
Have you ever had to go to the
Courthouse for any type of business whether to file or review a deed in the
Office of the County Clerk, or something pertaining to legal matters in the
Office of the Circuit Clerk, or in regards to any type of taxes in the Office
of the County Assessor or County Sheriff – and then
upon asking your question – have someone
tell you they have to go check with someone else? What’s the first thing that comes to
mind? Its why is this person here if
they do not know how to handle my question or provide the immediate service
that they are supposed to perform? Well welcome to ‘government’
where everyone seems to act as a ‘receptionist’
instead of doing what they are being paid to perform! PUBLIC-EMPLOYEES that
meet the PUBLIC are supposed to be PUBLIC-SERVANTS that SERVE the PUBLIC – it’s that simple!
Persons that are ‘elected’ to public office are supposed
to know their respective Duties & Responsibilities – and the same goes for
those ‘appointed’ to their positions
as assistants and such – and they are supposed to SHOW
RESPECT to everyone that comes before them since whether ELECTED or APPOINTED
– they are PUBLIC-SERVANTS first & foremost! Yet far too often when some folks obtain
these positions – they forget their place as a Public-Servant and instead act
like YOU are a nuisance interrupting their ‘retirement’
on the public-payroll! Some seem to only come to ‘work’ & put in the hours just to get their check expecting to
do nothing since they are now in public-office! And the worst yet are those few that act like
they hate doing something for those folks that are EXEMPT from any fees or
costs pursuant to being on a ‘fixed-income’
& such!
At any rate, this scenario is NOT
APPLICABLE to everyone that works-for-the-public, whether elected or appointed,
but only for those few that make dealing with a government agency more
difficult than it would ordinarily be necessary. What seems to be
missing more & more these days is the PATIENCE of having to deal with
EVERYONE in the general public and forgetting the NECESSARY COURTESY that
should be mutually shown to everyone – particularly since it’s the
GENERAL PUBLIC that pays the salary for each public official & employee!
That’s why county commission
candidates NORMAN LEE ALDERMAN (Rep-SD) & PATTI HEINEMANN
(Dem-ND) have agreed, as part of their 15 POINT program to End Poverty & Pauperism and Restore Progress & Prosperity to Pocahontas
County, to include a promised to provide EVERY public
official & public employee a copy of the State Law respecting each person’s
position in the local government so that everyone in the courthouse will know
their respective Duties & Responsibilities once and for all! This promise will be
for each & every government agency under the oversight of the County
Commission so that no one will ever have an excuse not to follow the Law
and carry out their Duties & Responsibilities from this point forward!
State Law has defined what every
elected & appointed public official/servant is required to do, and what is
expected from each such person – but unfortunately far too many public-servants
either do not know, or remember, and only do what they are told to do by those
around them! Therefore
each person in whatever agency they work will be given their correct ‘job-description’ for their respective
position and then be held accountable accordingly. Hopefully the confidence gained will transfer
into the courtesy expected by the general public – and in turn the general
public will gain a lot more respect for the persons on the other side of the
counter conducting public business!
THAT’S WHY…
THIS TIME…there’s no excuse…
IT’S YOUR
CHOICE…
TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!
Just say ‘NO’ to
those who want to keep this county in Poverty & Pauperism
– and –
Just say ‘YES’ to
real Progress
& Prosperity for the future!
On Primary Day – YOU have a chance to elect two persons
that will always put YOU first! They know that:
