KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

The Honorable John Hickenlooper Members of the Colorado General Assembly

Governor of Colorado

Dear Governor Senators and Representatives

We look back at Fiscal Year 2015 with a great sense of pride The employees of the Department of Revenue have delivered another year of dedication and accomplishments In light of this good work we have developed employee recognition events to honor members of our team We present Rock Star Awards each month to celebrate employees who go above and beyond their daily responsibilities and ldquomake a world of differencerdquo for their peers and customers We also present the Starfish award to employees nominated by their peers for outstanding customer service that they have observed or received Winners of both of these awards are recognized by the Executive Director and members of the senior management team

Marijuana continues to be a focus for our Enforcement Division As the industry evolves wersquore working hard to develop regulations that protect our consumers ensure public safety and support good business practices We have continued to maintain a focus on edibles equivalencies and underage compliance

In our Division of Motor Vehicles we are very excited to have received the appropriation to begin the work of replacing our driver license and titles and registration systems We are particularly grateful for the vision of the Governor and the support of the Capital Development Committee the Joint Technology Committee and the Joint Budget Committee The project will be implemented in two 18-month segments first for driver licenses and then for titles and registrations We are pleased to be working in partnership with the Governorrsquos Office of Information Technologies the County DMV Offices and our vendor Fast Enterprises The project kicked off in early FY16 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 17 2015

We had a lot of exciting news out of our Lottery Division this year In August 2014 a $90 million dollar winning Powerball ticket was sold in Rifle Colorado This was the largest Powerball jackpot ever won in Colorado We installed new lottery kiosks in many of our retail locations This new state of the art technology allows players to play both Scratch and Jackpot games and check tickets at a self-service machine This has proven to be a real convenience to our players Finally the Lottery Division launched new mobile apps for Scratch and Jackpot games These apps allow players to check winning numbers stay informed on current jackpot amounts check for nearby retailers and store their lucky numbers

It was another rewarding year in the Department of Revenue where we continuously strive to reach our vision of becoming the ldquopremier Department of Revenue known for its outstanding customer service innovation and dedicated employeesrdquo We are proud of the responsibilities that are entrusted to us and work every day to meet the expectations of our Department

Sincerely

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSThe agents Susan Cariveau and Jennifer Higgs did a great job approving our liquor premise for the new patio They received our application on Thursday and the patio was open for beer sales the next day Friday at 5 pm We had a double digit sales increase that weekend because we could serve beer on the patio Just thought you would want to know they went above and beyond in meeting with Steve to process our application very quickly Irsquom sure they would appreciate you ldquocatching them doing things rightrdquo mdashBest Bill

On December 23rd Jeremy Wolff (Division of Gaming) was called to the Lodge Casino for a dropped $40000 voucher ticket (our fault) The MOD at the Lodge showed the video to Mr Wolff and after speaking to me Mr Wolff went from casino to casino watching their videos to track this person who had picked up the voucher The man was at the Isle Casino and Mr Wolff approached him The man immediately gave Mr Wolff the $40000 in cash which he brought back to me I feel Mr Wolff went above the call to retrieve the voucher and want you to know about it WHAT A GUY Much appreciated mdashLinda and Bob

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

KUDOSI wanted to take a moment and commend Revenue Agent Akila (Tremble)for her exemplary service to me Recently I contacted the Colorado Department of Revenue to resolve an issue for one of my clients Each agent I spoke with just passed me to another agent due to what must have been the complexity of the issue Thankfully I finally was put in contact with Agent Akila and my issue was shortly resolved She took the time to gather the facts review the issues and then make an educated and objective decision resolving the situation Agent Akila is truly an asset to the Colorado Department of Revenue mdashBrian

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam

To whom it may concern I want to acknowledge what today is most unusual - exceptional customer service On a visit to DOR this week I had an occasion to interact with several of your employees each of whom were very pleasant knowledgeable and willing to assist me regarding a series of activities necessary to complete my visit Specifically Ashley Barbara and Janice initially provided the needed somewhat involved transactions from my perspective all of which were performedseemingly effortless More critical to me was the completion of a tax filing situation with a time sensitive threshold This was handled in a conference setting with Nick Gardner who was able to reduce my heightened concerns at the outset and then explain the required processes to file Nick took the appropriate amount of time explained the process in basic comprehensive terms in a friendly manor He also indicated that should any other issues arise he would be receptive to a call directly to him Truly uniqueWith public service employees enduring a brunt of public criticism and negative reporting I wanted to be sure that you were made away of these individuals who should receive recognition Thank you for your time mdashAdam
