It might cost more initially, but I think we can save a lot down the road and serve our people better. We need to keep these services despite the distances involved. There can be quite a distance even between one farm and another. Sure, we have cars. I think, in the not too distant future, we have to have the capability of making electronic payments.
Most people have computers now, or they can wire payments from their bank.
That would be a definite plus for counties because we would get our taxes sooner, we would get our resources sooner, these could be spread sooner, and everybody would benefit sooner. It's really difficult for policy-setting boards to understand individual office needs, and, therefore, the resulting expenses. You need Windows 95 on these and all four should be hooked up to the Web. In my office, that's what I have, and we are looking ahead, getting ready for when electronic transfers come in, because I can see how much that is going to benefit the taxpayer. And the way to convince a board of commissioners of this is just to get them to do long-range planning.
