The State regularly freezes vacant positions even those these positions are needed to do the job empowered to do. It is the management of the State that causes these problems. They expect employees to do more with less without any compensation for work over and above their regular duties. Politcs is what runs all State agencies. Politics is what should get the blame not the poor employee who has not been trained, not supported and left to fend on his or her own. When taxpayers demand that the services they pay taxes for be done then will you get the services completed. But when the State freezes positions, pays low salaries then not only can they not recruit new employees they cannot keep what they have. The Prison system faces the same problems. There is not one facility fully manned. There is a shortage of Correctional Officers, Probation and Parole Officers but the State fails to do anything about it which results in innocent citizens being killed. Plain and simple!
