I finally figured out how to get a straight answer from a city permit office

For years, I'd call about a fence permit and get vague 'maybe 2-4 weeks' timelines that were useless. Last month, I started asking 'What's the very next step in the process, and who specifically is doing it?' The inspector in Phoenix actually paused, looked it up, and said 'It's on Dave's desk for final review, and he's out until Tuesday.' That one question cut my wait time guess from a month to 3 days. Anyone else have a magic phrase that actually gets you real info from government offices?
