Long lines a ploy to get more tax dollars

Not sure about everyone else in DuPage County, but somehow I feel that the long lines to get into the Du Page County courthouse these days, are just a hidden ploy (agenda) by the workers manning the entrances.

By purposely "slow-processing" the lines (and to prove it, just watch these employees work for about 10 minutes -- what a joke!), their feeble attempt to win sympathy from me has slid down the drain.

They "think" you and I are fooled that the county just can't cut anymore in the budget, so we'll just have to raise our taxes. By fooling us, they then can keep their over-paid pensions, health benefits, and salaries that almost no one in the real working world receives anymore.

The only ones affected are the common blokes like us that might have to go inside the courthouse some day, because all county workers and lawyers registered in DuPage County get special privileges that allow them to bypass the long wait to get inside.

Everyone watch your wallet, come election time!
