Description

phone system for the public defenders office is not working. the main number (941) 861-5500 is rolling directly into a general mailbox. Usually when you call and the operator does not answer, it gives you the option to dial the extension of the person you are trying to reach. Since Sunday, there is no way to get transferred to a public defender's direct line, or get into the mailbox system to leave a message on an extension for a defender. it is almost like the "night bell" has been turned on at the main switch board.
