Employees were nice

They closed a spring in our area and did not even test the water for safety. The water has been independently tested by myself and others and has never had a problem. This county does not care about its residents only $.

On a positive note this building was the orange county government building after being built in 1887. Part of Goshens historic district it exists at the head of "lawyers row", a row of revolutionary Era buildings typically rented by local lawyers for law offices

I called OCHD in a panic because there was a problem with the COVID-19 Release link. Xiomara took my call and walked me through the whole form to make sure I had done it properly. She was polite, patient and very understanding. Her demeanor was kind and professional throughout the entire call. Thank you, Xiomara!

Jeanine is a nice person. Everyone else is very rude. Their policies and regulations are incredibly strict. Pretty much impossible to start a new small business while following all of the ridiculous rules. Seems like the policies were made based off of opinion and not factual research. How could an existing establishment be "grandfathered" in if the new rules were put in place because the old rules were hazardous to public health!? Makes zero sense. A bunch of bad things had to happen in order to justify such strict regulations. If said bad things did occur, then please explain how it's OK for any existing establishment to be "grandfathered" in? Wouldn't people be getting sick? If they're aren't getting sick then why change all the rules? Why make them so strict? Where do we find the research that was done to conclude stricter regulations were necessary? Who wrote these policies and how do we speak to those people?
