GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan -- The county is moving quickly toward putting
high-tech kiosks from Fenton to Mt. Morris and using them for everything from
collecting taxes to selling dog licenses -- potentially collecting bonus
convenience charge every time they're used.

The county Board of Commissioners and dozens of representatives of county
government departments met with representatives of EZ Card & Kiosk LLC
last week, and board Chairman Jamie Curtis said immediately after, "This is
going to happen."

We will take it "as far as we can go," Curtis said.

It's a ringing endorsement for a concept that's just getting off the ground, but
is getting fast support from commissioners who are eager to raise new
revenue and improve customer service with fewer employees.

The county laid off or eliminated the positions of 119 employees to balance
this year's general fund budget, and several departments have cut back on
the hours they are open for business since, increasing the waiting lines in
some offices.

Declining property tax revenue and the possible elimination of state shared
revenues have left county officials scrambling for any potential new sources of
cash.
