To Vanessa Cobbs: Welcome. You have your work cut out for you at the Adams Street Location. Please set up Camp at that Location. You need to Double, maybe Triple the number of Employees, Train them and the Train them some more and then CROSS TRAIN THEM. Yes, Cross Train them. Many State Offices (My Office included) and Big Businesses are there at 6:00am waiting to pick up a lot of Mail from the “Call Window”. It is Carts of Mail each. Yesterday (8/8/24) NONE OF US got our Mail because the one Person that knows what to do wasn’t there. We get a LOT of Certified Mail and the Days the one Person that processes the Certified Mail is out, we don’t receive ANY Certified Mail. So my Advice is this: Hire MORE Staff and CROSS TRAIN them.
The TCAC and their minions, Jack Porter, Jeremy Matlow, and Dot Johnson are nothing but thugs. They need to take a hike and find an island somewhere to destroy with their Socialist agenda.
