Learn to do your work as public servants and respect the United States Constitution 🇺🇸 The Water Department rep Tina Journeay needs to be reminded to put her phone away and get to work instead of causing a disturbance

I don't understand how people could leave bad reviews for MTH...The ladies that work here are forgiving, respectful, and helpful. I've lived here for 9 years and literally have had nothing but good interactions and kind help from all the departments. I've also had to ask for help for many tax forms over and over and no one ever snarls at me or makes me feel dumb. They're wonderful ladies. And I've seen the woman in the water department every quarter for 9 years with nothing but smiles and happiness from her, so I don't know what that one review was talking about. Seems like and over entitled Karen if you ask me.
