Re: Out of curiosity, does your business ever give freebies?
Posted by VT_Syrup of VT on 8/16/24 7:35am Msg #649078
I'm not sure if you'd call my activities a business. I combine the financial records of my justice of the peace (JP) work and my notary work together. The JP position is part of town government, and in connection with that I administer oaths of office and oaths to people who are about to testify before a town board. Occasionally I perform a notarization for a neighbor. This week I did a notarization for a person who walked into the town clerk's office while we were filling out post-election forms. The town clerk was busy so I took care of it.

I don't charge for any of this.

What I do get paid for is elections. I get paid a low hourly wage for being an election official. As a JP, I don't have to pay for my notary commission. I believe once rules for IPEN and RON are written, I will be able to get the special endorsement for that for free. That amounts to a whopping $60 every 2 years. But I have to pay for my own continuing education online course, about $25.

 OK, Alz, what's your short narrative? n/m - Lee/AR on 8/17/24 7:06pm
 In the past, yes. Not so much now. Thanks for the education. n/m - Alz on 8/21/24 8:00pm
