Apparently the author of “Halloween Nonsense” never held a job. To make such harsh statements about our county employees, in my opinion, was made with complete ignorance to stress at the work place. I see no harm or waste of taxpayer money in taking the liberty of enjoying oneself at work during Halloween, Christmas or any other holiday. What is the difference coming to work in costume or an outfit? Being professional does not dictate one has to be as hateful as you seem to be by your pitiful and outrageous comments. It has been proven that employees are more productive when there is laughter and camaraderie. You need to lighten up and find some real issues to focus on.
