True public servants

True public servants

Another Tip of the Column to the worker bees in the offices of the clerk of courts and prothonotary.

I have occasion to spend time in both offices and can't help but overhear them at the counters and on the phones with the public.

All of these employees are courteous and way beyond helpful in dealing with the public.

Despite their own increased workloads, pay freezes and the like, I have never heard one of these employees flip out at a caller or visitor even though some of the people they are dealing with are less than pleasant and refuse to listen.

So many people refer to government workers as bureaucrats but the workers in these two offices don't fit that description.

These are caring people that make government work for the taxpayers.
