POS Alert: Sacramento

[SuperHornet]

Someone mailed a suspicious package to the California Franchise Tax Board (the state equivalent to the IRS). The building was evacuated, and the Fire Department sent out people in HazMat suits to investigate.

Turned out to be dog poop.

I hate to pay taxes, too, but is this really the right response?

Cool.

I'll have to add doing that to the freedom from religion foundation to my bucket list.

No, sending in the hazmat team was not the correct response...it only cost taxpayers more money.


Wait...you were talking about the hazmat response, weren't you?

Casey, do you actually pay taxes?

[SuperHornet]

Why would I NOT pay taxes, Andy? As much as I don't like the sitting President, I AM a patriotic citizen. I do my duty, INCLUDING paying taxes.

Without knowing what was in the package, how were they supposed to respond?
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
