Absolutely no customer service. Don't we pay for you to have a job? Rude, unkind, uncaring, no ethics. Not competent enough to look up a case.

Public servants, that don't serve the public Edit: everyone makes mistakes. And these public servants, know how to admit and fix them. Thank you Janice. You saved the sinking ship. Review corrected from 1 star to 3 stars*

Just saw Janice on James Freeman's Youtube show and was blown away by how amazing she handled that situation. You are an amazing person and the world needs more people like you. You are an amazing person! Lots of love from Canada!

Janice Barela, the County Manager is the SOLE reason for this 5 star review. She was able to remedy a public records request issue caused by her colleagues in a most courteous and professional manner. Torrance County is most privileged to have the likes of Janice serving the public's best interests. Public officials everywhere should follow Janice's example on how to treat people honorably and in good faith.

Lori And the blond with glasses are very unprofessional and the blond with glasses... She needs to realize she can’t talk to the public she chooses to serve the way she talks back to her mother . They both need jobs the dose not consist of handing the public especially on the tax payers dim. Kind courteous and professional people is Not Lori Salazar!
