‘Shopping spree' raises questions for county
When questioned, Skeans and Foust both admitted they "didn't know anything about it" and even went so far as to say they "never use a color copier."
What... did the Earth just go through the tail of a comet?
What is with all the "goofy" copier related stories? again, fact is funnier then fiction.
From the local news in the The Wabash Plain Dealer Online, an article by By SHEILA RHOADES-
"In a move that could be perceived as reckless government spending, the Wabash County Health Department has committed $13,725 in Homeland Security grant funds to more office equipment..."
It seems that the local health department down there had received some money from Homeland Security and "...only had one day to spend it...".
So of course, they went on a "shopping spree" - it's the American way.
And along this way, they seemed to have purchased a "...used photocopier machine..." for $9,000.00.
Huh?
"When questioned, Skeans and Foust both admitted they "didn't know anything about it" and even went so far as to say they "never use a color copier."
"Do you know what that costs for ink for that? And it would cost about 65 cents a copy," Commissioner Lester Templin said. "And you're not even going to use half of the things that are on there (copy machine). And it says on this paper that this is a 'repo unit'," he added."
OMG!
Seriously, this is funny.

"Beware of DLL, a business nightmare..."
Bad Leasing Story part Trios...or is it quatre It's gotta be bad if the very first line in the article is, "The following is a fictitious account of a business nightmare."
And it must be true if the names HAVE NOT BEEN changed, to protect the innocent.
This article from a paper in Philly, written by John F. McKenna an attorney with MacElree Harvey of West Chester, goes on to describe a bad experience with DLL.
"About DLL
Based in the Netherlands, DLL is a global provider of leasing, business and consumer finance solutions. They are listed as a Michigan corporation with United States headquarters in Wayne.
DLL never guarantees the performance of the equipment; it merely provides the financing. You are responsible for the payments regardless of the performance of the equipment, even if it never works."
I have a copy of their contract, and it is "standard" but is very one sided - as the article states :
"The standard contract states that you cannot have a jury trial. You further agree, that in the event of default, DLL can declare the entire balance of the unpaid lease payments for the full term immediately due and payable."
"payments for the full term immediately due and payable" - you gotta love that too.
His last two sentences sum up nicely,
"Sometimes you just have to take a risk when you lease equipment. Clarifying upfront what your duties and obligations are is always a good course of action."
I notice in the comments this guy takes some pretty good hits, but the overall information is valid.
Leasing is tough all over.
