Are you sure the governor's office is the correct place to send this? I can't tell you for sure but one time i had a bad experience with a state employee. I was at a state location delivering a product as a vendor to the state in which i live. A couple state employees as well as myself and one of my employees was unloading this heavy piece of equipment out of the back of the van. The door on my delivery van somehow came to rest on a nearby by truck. It made a tiny little scratch in the truck door.

It happened quietly and i never even noticed as i was busy unloading the product. Some long haired idiot came outside and started screaming at me. He was really mad and told me that i scratched "his" truck and that i was a dumb blankety, blank.

I apologized but he kept going at me. He told me it was going to cost me. He was literally spitting, he was yelling so loud at me. He threw an accident report at me and told me to fill it out and say that i damaged his truck. I told him that I wasn't 100 % sure that we damaged it. I said that although it was our vehicle, his employees were also helping and it just as well could have been one of them that opened the door into his truck. I simply coudln't remember.

So I stated that in the report. He was really pissed when he read that. STill, i wasn't going to admit guilt for something i was unsure of. ANyway, when i got back to the office i really started to stew over this. This guy was actually working for ME as a taxpayer. It wasn't even HIS truck. It was just as much mine as his. It was a state truck with state tags on it!

So I contacted the Secretary of Human Resources for the State via email. I was amazed to see that she herself replied to me within 24 hrs. She was very apologetic and told me that this would be corrected. A week or so later, she followed up and told me that the individual had been reprimanded.

My point? Not sure i guess, but it just got me thinking that maybe you need to be dealing with someone other than the governor's office.
