she received her tax re-

did not protect her person-
al information.
“I don’t do a lot of
things online anyway just
because I want to protect
that aspect,” she said.
“You’re issued one (Social
Security) number in your
life, and you are bound to
protect it. It’s sad when
people who hold that in-
formation in their archives
can’t protect you.”
The IRS issued a con-
sumer alert March 1 warn-
ing of a phishing scheme
where scammers purport
to be company executives
requesting information on
employees.
“This is a new twist on
an old scheme using the
cover of the tax season and
W-2 ilings to try tricking
people into sharing per-
sonal data,” IRS Com-
missioner John Koskinen
said in a statement. “Now
the criminals are focusing
their schemes on company
payroll departments.”
The alert stated the
new phishing scheme
was part of a 400-percent
surge in phishing and
malware incidents this
tax season.

Palmer said he too would
like to keep local dispatch.
He said he recommended
the center in Gilliam Coun-
ty because he has been told
the state will be implement-
ing nine regional dispatch
centers in the state with-
in the next five years or
so.
“I understand the desire
to keep it local — I would
like that as well — but I
think with us looking at
going to regionalization ...
I would rather be able to
pick where we go instead
of who we get stuck with,”
he said.
Palmer said he would
provide the information
about regionalization to the
court.
Myers said the county
should be able to get a quote
for dispatch costs from
Frontier without a letter of
support.
He said the county would
review this information be-
fore signing the contract re-
newal with the city.
On Friday, Myers said
Palmer provided a one-page
map that showed the current
dispatch centers and poten-
tial regions in which they
could be organized.
Myers said he also ob-
tained a 2012 study, “Con-
solidation Analysis and
Next Generation 9-1-1
Implementation
Study,”
commissioned by the state
Office of Emergency Man-
agement.
