In for a penny; in for a pound. Give me some reliable figures and tell me where you got them, you name and some way to get in touch with you, and I will fact check the things you are telling me. If I'm that far out of plumb, I will gladly print a correction, but the story stands for now.

He said the money was spent to acquire a new main frame computer. He also said that it costs $58,000 to continue to run the outmoded system of payroll, and that the people who programmed the new system say they have no idea if a retrograde refit will even work.<br /><br />The LegendaryThe Legendaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057766663620656222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037574845472013477.post-35073286342323445752011-11-17T14:56:57.580-06:002011-11-17T14:56:57.580-06:00Sorry, for another correction but the software is ...Sorry, for another correction but the software is hosted by Tyler Munis.

Hence, my statement, "Politics has influenced a reversal of a $6 million expenditure for new payroll computing equipment and software." That's what I mean by 'equipment" in that statement.<br /><br />Further down in the story, I wrote "The payroll system was set to change to an automated bi-weekly schedule run by a new $6 million main frame computer on customized software that would divide the year into 26 equal pay periods."<br /><br />All this is based on my best information after an extended interview with a very patient and courteous accountant, Mr. Stan Chambers, the County Auditor. Let me apologize for my tortured, twisted syntax. Thank you for your interest. The people who read these columns are among the most important people in my world.<br /><br />The LegendaryThe Legendaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057766663620656222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037574845472013477.post-31653820149378995112011-11-09T23:23:08.856-06:002011-11-09T23:23:08.856-06:00Sorry to have to correct you, but the new County s...Sorry to have to correct you, but the new County software cost more like $600K for the whole software package, including payroll, accounting, purchasing, etc. That is a long way from $6 millionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
