I live in an area of the United States that receives, as one of its TV channels, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company).

In Abbottsford, British Columbia a water main broke. This is not too uncommon as the infrastructure in North America is becoming very old. What is unusual is that this is the third time in (I think they said) two years. It happened in the same area. The residents are becoming understanbly upset. Anything like this is the sign of a larger problem.

The water mains are part of what is called the “commons” in most countries – that which is paid for and owned by the citizens and built and maintained by their government. Our government is in a tricky spot – how to get the funds neccessary to pay for the commons versus where to invest the funds. My heart goes out to those who choose to work as a civil servant. Their jobs can be quite “taxing”.

I know from the citizen end that dealing with the government can be quite frustrating. You look in the phone book and find a name and/or number to contact about something. You call and they refer you to someone else. This person refers you to yet another person and so on. You may find yourself talking to the person you called first or that they don’t have jurisdiction and you need to call another level/area of the government.

Or perhaps you don’t know who to call in the first place.

With Pre-Paid Legal’s Legal Plans you have access to attorneys that know the halls of the government and will help you get in touch with the right department and the right person to deal with your situation. They will also help you to work with that person to get your problem or question answered.

I am not an attorney, therefore, do not take anything in any of my posts as legal advice. In any legal situation, as in a medical situation, always consult a professional.
