Should the county pay workers when they are not at work because they are volunteering?

24% Yes, they deserve it and I trust the county to spend my tax money wisely.

0% I'll go to the meeting to help discuss the issue before I make my decision.

76% No, volunteering is just that. Total responses: 50

Reader's comments:

Emergency personnel perform their "volunteer" services at risk for those they are helping. I believe some type of compensation be developed for emergency personnel, i.e. firemen, EMT'S who do not receive any regular pay.

We pay PART-TIME commissioners and council members insurance premiums (no other county part time workers are given insurance benefits). I suggest we use that money to fund this compensation fund.

Carroll County has grown so much. We need a mall in Carroll County.

I have two boys, and I did a lot of my Christmas shopping at Morrow's Shoe Shop. You can't beat the prices, or the quality of clothing and shoes they have.
