Yet Another Crisis For County Government

With over a year since Microsoft announced they would end support for their XP Operating System, it was announced this morning in the County Legislative Meeting that no preparations have been made for this change that will take place on 8 April 2014.

At the present time it isn't even known how many computers the county has that still operate with the XP System. No plan has been made as to which computers can be upgraded with new operating systems or how many will be more feasible to replace. Currently there is not even an estimate as to the cost of this latest "crisis".

This is the way the county has operated under the County Executive's leadership moving from one crisis to the next without any plan to meet future problems in a more efficient manner. How much longer will this county suffer from such unprepared leadership?
