I got the "doesn't qualify for an exemption" letter in the mail today. WTF!!!!!!!! I am so f**king angry. How is not having ANY income NOT A HARDSHIP!
So I take a ride over to the local office of Senator Coats (R Indiana), I decided they will get stuck with the job of getting me the exemption. Its Monday about 2 pm, no one is there in the office. Closed up tight as a drum. WTF!!!!!!
The receptionist for the other office (a law firm) in the building says, can I help you. I ask, where are the senators office people? Oh, she (so its one person???) doesn't keep regular office hours, she says. She must get this question all the time. When is someone generally there, I ask? She says she is in so rarely, I wouldn't know what to tell you..............I haven't seen her in over a week. (it would be impossible for that receptionist to not see someone in that office).
ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG Are you kidding me!!!!! (I didn't say that to that person, it not her fault no one is there).
We the f**kpayers are paying for offices that are not really being used!!!! No info on the website saying that the office is not staffed, nothing..... I guess the lack of hours should have been a clue..........That office must be costing at least 20k a year to hold it.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But its extra grating that this is the office of a so called conservative republican. He is running a debt clock on his senate website
He also has four other "field" offices statewide I imagine aren't open very often.
So I go home and call the local number, expecting to get an answering machine. At least they have the local number transfer to the Indianapolis office. So I talk to a guy in Indy, and the lady who deals with Obamacare will call me tomorrow morning.......... Something I didn't want, since I want the staffer to fill out the next form for an appeal.
Frankly I hope I can make someone drive up from Indy (a three hour drive each way) to "help" me with this nonsense..........
