Thanks for letting me miss 2 weeks of work just to get off all the cases I get called for. Then make me stay a second week cause you say I screwed up. Weak service. Even worse attitude.

I think the Hennepin County Government Center is very nice and easy to get around in. The security is very good and I feel safe in there. The people that work there are very nice and respectful. It ha...s been a good experience no complaints. Thank you See More

I'm based in the UK, and I'm extremely saddened to see your recent treatment of a breastfeeding mother. We experience enough segregation, degradation and humiliation in the West society as nursing mo...thers, to have it inflicted upon us by those who are supposed to be guardians of this sickening behaviour is absolutely deplorable.
Too many women stop nursing early because of a lack of support and a high level of attack it is becoming a western epidemic.
I sincerely hope you take what these mothers - who are sick to the back teeth of experiencing this - into serious consideration and think about what seeming indifference is to you is genuinely life or death for so many babies and heartache for mothers everywhere.

Well, the Hennepin County seems to welcome the ultra-leftists radical faction with open-arms such that they replaced the US flag and hoisted the ANTIFA flag instead.

Really great service from Sheri at the Civil Filing desk. Computer issues delayed her ability to print my certified copies of my court order, but after I'd left the building in defeat she called me to... say the system was up & she had my stuff waiting when I got back. The folks at DVS downstairs were pleasant as well. See More

Truly astounded by the hours I've wasted being on hold waiting for a 'human representative' when trying to figure out the mistakes Hennepin County Economic Assistance employees have made. Today's gran...d total: 1 hour, 30 min -- to never actually talk to a 'human representative'. (btw who came up with that title - George Orwell?)

Y'all are on FB but can't figure out how to update your incredibly inefficient, way-too-much paper ways of applying for Snap?? Shame I couldn't talk to a human rep, just gotta vent on FB like everyone else. But for serious, get your ish together, join the 21st-century, and start providing services in a timely, organized manner! Do something good with our taxes~

I called the Hennepin County Sheriff's office to voice my opposition to Hennepin County's involvement in intimidating and attacking peaceful protesters who are working to protect their sovereign land ...against a trespassing corporation and they hung up on me. Not only are their actions disgusting, they can't even accept the slightest criticism of a county resident. Pathetic. #nodapl #standwithstandingrock See More

HCMC generated a fake medical bill that went into collections and instantly made me a debtor. I was careful to ask ahead of time if it was covered and they said yes. All the doctor did was have me see... a video or two... It is a scam county run by diabetic TyOe II scum. Now I have to beg them for welfare, which is what they want me to be. See More

Every time I call them I have to wait 30 minutes or more, and I have been hung up on more than once! And they do NOT bother calling me back, even though it is clearly their fault for disconnecting! I ...have been waiting more than a month on m SNAP application and I get this, "Oh, well, looks like someone was assigned but didn't do anything about it." DO YOUR JOB, HENNEPIN COUNTY! See More

I was there to get some forms and information as well as a death certificate. The wait wasn't that long and the person behind the desk was very polite and helpful.

This is the most selfish & useless county ever! You guys came to my home & towed my car for 4 unpaid parking tickets. I've never felt more cheated out in my life...
