I just had the opportunity to talk with the Honorable Paul G. Zimmermann, the Carroll County Carroll County Office of the Register of Wills.

Although I was not surprised, I extremely appreciated having a conversation with a caring individual who was knowledgeable and professional yet used common sense to answer my questions and get accomplished what I needed to do….

Of course, many of us have fond memories of working with Reese Starner, the longstanding Register of Wills from 1966 until 1995 who set the gold standard for friendly, competent customer service.

We are very fortunate in Carroll County to have dedicated public servants in government who are actually in the customer service business. I know, shocked. I’m just shocked. Well actually in Carroll County it is the norm.

In Carroll County folks in government go out of their way to not only answer your questions but to also facilitate taking care of you in the ever-changing complex contemporary jungle of conflicting and confusing laws, rules, and bureaucracies.

I’m just saying…
