Cara (county clerk) is extremely rude. Seems to be in a bad mood whenever I speak to her. Gives attitude and doesn’t seem to care about any ones personal lives. I go to school full time and work part time and she didn’t seem to care about that when I told her my schedule is very busy, she still wanted me to make an appointment to go in to give her $5 to put my job on my permit. Her reason had nothing to do with why she needed my job info. EXTREMELY RUDE.
