What do you think of having your tax dollars go to a seasonal employee at $10/hr solely to be at the switch board? What do you think if the department that seasonal is working in has a maximum of 20 calls a day? What do you think if that employee asks for more responsibility and is denied, ending up with that employee twiddling her thumbs and watching the full-timers "work"? I want to see what you think and feel free to ask questions, this discussion will be continued.

I think that government jobs are a large expense to local and state governments and can be a waste of tax dollars such as in your case

You're lucky. In Canada that person would probably be paid 25-40 dollars an hour, have sweet benefits, and a fat office expense account.
Apparently the person who waters plants in the offices at Toronto City Hall makes something like 38 dollars an hour. Doesn't that sound like it should be a minimum wage job?
