SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL TO PARTNER WITH STAND BY ME TO OFFER FINANCIAL COACHING TO COUNTY EMPLOYEES AND PUBLIC

GEORGETOWN - Sussex County Council will partner with stand By Me, the statewide financial empowerment program, to offer free one-on-one financial coaching to the county's nearly 500 employees beginning early next year. Also in January, free financial coaching for the public will begin being offered through stand By Me at the county's public libraries.

"The County is excited to partner with stand By Me to offer this type of financial coaching to both our employees and the public - free of charge," County Administrator Todd F. Lawson said. "From buying a house to balancing a checkbook, financial literacy is an essential skill for any citizen. In tough economic times like these, what better way to help people than to give them the tools to help themselves improve their financial standing?"

Sussex County Department of Libraries Director Kathy Graybeal said the program will add to the multitude of materials, services and programs already provided by local public libraries.

The way I look at this bull crap statement is that if you can't balance a checkbook you have no business buying a house! And if you can't handle money properly you shouldn't even be working for the county.
