No better place to hide than in a gov position. Reminds me of the nightmare i went through at the license bureau when I bought a vehicle out of state. They put every roadblock after roadblock in my way saying that it was the dealer when all the time it was them.
One of the excuses was that the tax remittance from the dealer had to be exactly right to the penny. She said they kept sending too much money like $0.84 too much. So around and around we went up to the point that I called Chrysler.
Now 4 years later I went to the same office after buying a motorcycle out-of-state which the dealer said they would remit the tax right away. When I return home to the license bureau with a different woman running the place she said that the dealer had overpaid the tax but didn't say how much and laughed and said that's okay we're glad to take the money. It was never the dealer it was always the license bureau. Protect the derelicts.
